Ron Wilson Q1. Why the urgency? A1. Emerson and Twin Rivers have operated at half capacity for several years at the cost of more than $511,000 per year. Q2. Is there a reason this cannot be brought to the table after the pandemic has subsided, and we know what families will be doing next year? A2. This is the first year since 2016 that the change could occur without having to lay off staff and overcrowd classrooms. The proposed restructuring would accommodate all IPS students to return to in-person learning. Eight teachers would be assigned to each grade level as it was scheduled during the 2020-2021 school year.
