The Park Rapids School Board heard from the school principals on Tuesday about plans and personnel needs for the 2021-22 school year.
Elementary Principal Mike LeMier said the lower school will hold steady at 31 sections from kindergarten through grade 4, only changing from seven first-grade classrooms to six and adding a seventh kindergarten classroom.
He said they plan to have smaller class sizes and will need additional staff support for Title I and English Language Learners.
Middle School Principal Shawn Andress said her school will continue with its current 22 sections and its commitment to the middle-level Alternative Learning Center.
