Class Size Limits. Class limits, including distance-learning classes, may be established or amended only with the approval of the Class Size Committee.
Class Size Limits. The Board of Education agrees to observe reasonable class size limits subject to space availability, budgetary limitations, and availability of teachers or necessary funds. Classes of the same subject in a given Building during the same period should be of substantially the same size. All decisions on class size will be made in the best interests of pupils, teachers, and community-at-large.
Class Size Limits. 1. With the exception of instrumental and vocal music, physical education, seminar and study hall, it is agreed that:
Class Size Limits. The Association and the Board agree to respond to overloads using the system described below. It is the intent of this system to direct funds to new teachers and new sections of students as much as possible, instead of paying for overloads. It is also intended that absolute limits would be placed on those classes for which overloads would create unsafe conditions, or for which there is a limited number of work stations. It is the belief of the Association and Board that by working cooperatively, the most educationally appropriate solutions can be found to the problems created by overloads. Class size limits are delineated in Appendix C. The description below defines the appropriate response to possible overloads.
Class Size Limits. Class sizes are established as follows:
Class Size Limits. It is the Board's objective to ensure that class sizes are conducive to an effective learning situation. Staffing plans for the commencement of the school year shall be based upon the following class size limits. Effective September 1991, class size limits for regularly scheduled classes shall be: Kindergarten/Grade 1 17 students Kindergarten 22 students Primary split (1/2/3/4) 22 students Primary (grades 1-3) 26 students Intermediate split (4/5/6/7) 27 students Special Needs (including ESL) 13 students Other (4 - 12) 30 students

Class Size Limits. Elementary: It is the intent of this agreement to maintain existing practice to reduce class sizes at elementary schools to: Twenty-five (25) and below in K – 3 in historically standard classrooms Thirty (30) and below in 4-6 in historically standard classrooms Forty-five (45) and below in Physical Education classes Middle and High School: It is the intent to keep all teachers in grades 7-12 at no more than one hundred and ninety-two 192 total student contacts per day (six teaching periods) in historically standard classrooms. For physical education classes, the intent is to have no teacher at more than two hundred and eighty-two (282) total student contacts per day (six teaching periods). Band, choir, and theater classes are not covered under this contract language. If a secondary teacher teaches more than four different classes, at the same school, in a semester, they shall receive $300 per additional class per semester.
Class Size Limits. The district will make every effort to keep the class size of kindergarten to 23 or fewer students. If class size exceeds 23, then a school-based team including, but not limited to, the kindergarten teacher, the kindergarten teaching assistant, a member of the special education team, and the principal shall meet to assess the needs of the classroom in light of the class size.
Class Size Limits. The recommended class size/workload for the Mount Xxxxxx School District shall be the following number of students in a class: 4 28 5 - 6 30 7 - 8 31 9 -12 33 Physical Education 36 with a one-time (9-12) adjustment only Special Education 20 (K - 12) ELL Caseload 100 with a second adjustment at 130 OT/PT/SLP 50 (K-12) Psychologists 1000 (K-12) Nurses 1500 (K-12) If class size is below a trigger number, unique circumstances may warrant class size support. The principal/class size support team will consider requests for class size support below the trigger numbers. It is not intended that trigger numbers be the only indicator for support. Special Education. In the case of special education, student numbers listed above are for IEP caseloads (Report No. P223H). Magnet programs shall be staffed at a lower caseload because of the higher needs of the students. Magnet caseloads shall trigger at 15 students for developmentally delayed programs, and 8 for behaviorally disordered programs. Relief for magnet programs will be accessed through the Special Services Allocation Fund.
