Class Size Reduction. The parties acknowledge that as a condition of receiving the additional funding grant for K-3 Class Size Reduction under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), the District is required to make progress toward maintaining an average class size enrollment of not more than 24 pupils for each school site in Kindergarten and grades 1 to 3 upon full implementation of the LCFF, as such progress is defined in Education Code section 42238.02. The parties intend for the District to be in compliance with this law as interpreted by subsequent guidelines and regulations of the California Department of Education (CDE) upon full implementation of the LCFF (currently 2020-2021) as set forth in Education Code section 42238.02(d)(3)(D). In lieu of making progress toward maintaining an average K-3 class size enrollment of no more than 24 pupils for each school site, Education Code section 42238.02(d)(3)(B) authorizes the parties to negotiate an alternative annual class size enrollment for each school site in Kindergarten and grades 1 to 3. Therefore, effective for 2013-2014 and continuing for all subsequent school years until full implementation of the LCFF, the District and the Association agree to an “alternative annual average class size enrollment for each school site” in Kindergarten and grades 1 to 3 of not more than 26 students. Under this alternative, the District shall make annual progress at each school site toward the 26:1 goal by full implementation of the LCFF (currently 2020-2021), but that the amount of progress at each school site shall be flexible and shall not be tied to the formula set forth in Education Code section 42238.02(d)(3)(B)(i)-(v). In the event the District receives information that compliance with this contractual provision may result in penalties that would reduce or eliminate the additional funding grant for K-3 Class Size Reduction, the parties agree to immediately meet and negotiate to implement a mutually agreed resolution. The District and KCTA leadership shall meet annually to review the progress towards reaching the goal of an annual average K-3 class size enrollment for each school site of 26:1 by full implementation of the LCFF in 2020-21.
