To keep class sizes from being too large, the Brandon-Evansville School Board approved three sections for this fall’s incoming kindergartens – a first in the district.
The number of students enrolled in previous years has kept the district to just two sections of kindergartens.
Superintendent Don Peschel, who asked for the approval at the Monday, May 17, regular school board meeting, noted that there are currently 50 students registered for kindergarten for the 2021-22 school year. And he anticipates there will be more.

Prior to the approval, there was plenty of discussion with Peschel asking school board members if they were comfortable with having 25 – or more students – in each class. He said he wasn’t and that there is plenty of research that indicates 25 kindergartens in one class is too many.
