CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) The Valley City school board approved a motion to move to larger class sizes at Jefferson elementary during the upcoming school year. First Grade Teacher Nancy Ost advocated smaller class size to better serve students.

Student Performance Strategist Jill Taylor agrees.

But Valley City School Superintendent Dean Koppelman said there’s no evidence to support the claim that smaller class sizes increase student performance.
