		<description>Python,
What kind of issues are we talking about with teachers and bullies? Are you saying 108 has some problems in this area? 108 has alot of kids taking online classes? Really how many?
I know of a few kids who have taken online classes in the past, but as I understand, it had more to do with the families stance on public education in general, more than anything to do with 108.</description>

		<description>It looks like the total enrollment inside 223 is showing more sustenance than in 108.  Good for them!</description>

		<description>I think we need to ask why so many kids are attending schools out of district or taking on line classes.</description>

		<description>I just saw that the largest class is the Kindergarten class with 26, I&#039;ll have to ask my kids how big their classes are.  Joshua&#039;s class (7th grade) used to be the largest class with 42.

		<description>Those are scary numbers Dan.  We (or city council) need to find a way to bring in families with children.  I think two of the biggest classes in USD #108 right now are my son&#039;s classes - 10th and 7th so it&#039;s only going to be a matter of a time before enrollment goes even lower, unless of course we can talk everyone into having more kids and then we can fill up the schools (count me out on this idea though)!

		<description>Should&#039;ve mentioned that the largest kindergarten class is Washington County&#039;s with 26. Clifton-Clyde had 18, Hanover had 14 and Linn had 13.</description>
