ADJUSTMENTS TO CLASS SIZE. The Board will adjust class sizes by the thirtieth (30th) calendar day of the first full day of student attendance in the first and second semesters. The Board shall endeavor, in good faith, to adjust the enrollment of any class which is not similar in size, to be similar in size within ten (10) working days, if reasonably possible, of the date of submission by the Association of a written request for adjustment to the Superintendent. Nothing contained in this Class Size section shall require the Board to transfer a student to another school building, although the Board will consider such transfers in adjusting class sizes where appropriate. Further, subject to financial, education, and classroom availability considerations, it is the goal of the Board to endeavor not to utilize split grade classes. After the class size adjustments have been made and a class still remains over twenty-nine (29) students the teacher of that class shall be given a teacher assistant, if the teacher so requests. Should a teacher assistant be requested but not hired on the thirty-first (31st) calendar day, a substitute will be used to fill the assistant position until one is hired. (At the Middle Schools and High School internal substitution may be used to meet this language.) Class size shall never exceed thirty-one (31) students.
