VI.C. 2017-2018 Class Size (Discussion)
Description:
Using the fall housing report and the cohort survival coefficient, we project class sizes for the following school year. The class sizes this evening appeared earlier this year when we reviewed enrollment projections for 2017-2018. For 2017-2018 we are recommending a staffing plan that has all class sizes at or below the guidelines established by the Board. We will monitor first and second grade during spring registration and make appropriate recommendations if class size guidelines are exceeded. I will bring this staffing plan to the Board in March for final approval.
