Additional counselors and librarians were also part of the increase in support staff. Marianne O’Brien said the need for additional support staff was one of the main reasons she walked picket lines.’ This is not just for teachers. It’s also for counselors, nurses, psychologists and social workers,’ said O’Brien, who teaches 10th grade English. The new contract also eliminates a longstanding clause that gave the district authority over class sizes, officials said. Grades 4 through 12 would be reduced by one student during each of the next two school years and two pupils in 2021-22.
