Class Size/Case Load Clause Samples

The Class Size/Case Load clause sets limits on the number of students assigned to a teacher or the number of cases managed by a staff member. In practice, this clause may specify maximum student counts per classroom or cap the number of clients a counselor can serve at one time, ensuring workloads remain manageable. Its core function is to maintain quality of service and prevent overburdening staff, thereby supporting effective teaching or case management and promoting better outcomes for students or clients.

Should the average daily attendance of a class fall below the pre-designated number, the District may close the class. The teacher assigned to the class will be given at least five days advance notice in writing of the intent to close the class. The site administrator and the affected teacher(s) shall meaningfully discuss options to preclude the necessity of class closures. 3.
