william l cobb elementary school. i'm speaking against the plan to create combination classes at our school. this plan is a failure that will harm the students. to our new superintendent you must listen to those working at school sites. top down decision making from someone without education experience does not make sense and does not match your reputation as a thoughtful city leader. the combination class proposal will directly harm our students. combination classes have consistently failed at cobb in the past leading to lower academic achievement reduced social emotional growth and greater inequities for our most vulnerable students. single grade classes have transformed learning at cobb allowing teachers to specialize in their respective grade levels. focus on the curriculum, the new curriculum and significantly improve outcomes. the proposed k one combo would place seven students with ieps in a class of 22. the 4 or 5 combo would place 11 students with ieps in a class of 37. this goes against the district's stated

now, this is ty cobb who served as white house lawyer during trump's first term. so i offer that up as a sort of preamble to my remarks because i think it shows that even republican lawyers can identify that what is happening here with the trump administration then with this nomination of russell vought is a naked power grab to seize power from the representatives elected by the people of this country and congress and concentrate it in the white house, in the hand of elon musk and russell vought in order for them to just run rampant over our constitutional system. so, as i said, you don't have to just believe me when you hear what i'm telling you because we could see them already start this process. and last week the trump administration, we could see they hurt real people in my state, in the state of oregon, the state of florida, by creating this unprecedented convey 0s in federal agencies -- chaos in federal agencies and programs all based on the blueprint of project 2025. and russell vought, whose nomination the senate is considering today, is the architect of
