Class Size
 

The Board is aware that class size has a bearing on effective teaching.  It therefore directs the superintendent to work with principals in establishing a reasonable and equitable class enrollment for each teacher.

The Board understands that achieving this goal is dependent upon the financial ability of the district.  In determining the size of various classes, the administration shall consider the following factors:

1. The availability of permanent classroom space and the capacity to secure temporary classroom units

2. The experience of the teacher and his or her familiarity with district programs and policies

3. The number of students in a section that require special help or individual attention

Class size guidelines are listed below;

PK     less than 15

Grades K-2 less than 22

Grades 3-5 less than 24

Grades 6-8 less than 25
