CLASS SIZE. GRADE LOADING RATIO MAXIMUM CLASS SIZEBecause the pupil-teacher ratio is an important aspect of an effective educational program, the parties agree the following ratios are desirable: Developmental Kindergarten: Fifteen (15) pupils or less Early Elementary (K-3): Twenty-five (25) pupils or less Late Elementary (4-6): Twenty-eight (28) pupils or less Junior High (7-8): Thirty (30) pupils or less Senior High (9-12): Academic class load of thirty (30) or less In classes having split grades the ratios shall be as follows: K-3: Twenty-three (23) pupils; 4-6: Twenty-six (26) pupils In classes having a specific number of stations, class enrollments will not exceed the number of available stations.

CLASS SIZE. GRADE LOADING RATIO MAXIMUM CLASS SIZE 7.01 Students shall not Teaching and learning are the essential acts in education, and a reasonable student- teacher ratio is essential if a maximum learning climate is to exist for students and teachers. In the interest of the best educational opportunities for students, desirable maximum class enrollments should be assigned established, monitored, and maintained. Variables to consider regarding class size/student-teacher ratios are subject matter, student ability level, and physical facilities. In classes with lab stations or where safety is an issue as determined by the superintendent or his/her designee, class size will be limited to the number of lab stations. Also, special consideration will be given to any class which has reached classes with students with an IEP or students with a 504 Plan mainstreamed in the maximum regular program. When a class size except or student-teacher ratio becomes excessive, the possibility of adding an additional section either through a teacher overload class or the utilization of part-time teachers shall be considered. If mutually agreed, teachers in the District Science departments may if they so desire, waive the lab station requirements as provided within this articledetailed in the contract. This is due to the variance in lab room stations. It is the goal of the Board and the Association that excessive class sizes/student-teacher ratios should be avoided.

CLASS SIZE. GRADE LOADING RATIO MAXIMUM CLASS SIZE1. It is the intent of the District to maintain a ratio of twenty-eight (28) students, including Inclusion Students, per regular class unit member in grades 4-6, and a ratio of twenty-five (25) students, including Inclusion Students, per regular class in grades 7 and 8. The District intends to implement the state class size reduction program so long as adequate state funding specifically for that program is available. If the District withdraws from the CSR program the above stated ratio for grades 4- 6 shall apply to grades K-6. If a grade 4-6 class at a K-6 site reaches thirty-three (33) students at the end of September or thereafter in any year, and the assigned unit member requests assistance, one (1) two hour certificated staff person will be provided the class. The district will make reasonable efforts to balance 4-6 class size at each site. When a ratio of twenty-eight (28) students per regular class is reached on average at a Junior High School at the end of September or thereafter in any year the District shall provide additional certificated staff as mutually agreed upon by the District and certificated staff at that site. Class sizes for these purposes shall be calculated consistent with past District practice. No 7-12 P.E. class shall exceed 50 students. When there are insufficient sections of 7-12 Physical Education to maintain class rosters of 50 or fewer students the district may proceed with one of the following options: 7.01 Students A. Seek volunteers from among the faculty of the affected school to teach an additional period of Physical Education during what would normally be their Preparation Period. The volunteer teacher must possess a credential that authorizes Physical Education instruction. If more than one teacher volunteers, the Principal shall interview all applicants and shall select the best suited following the criteria set forth in Article V, 2 B. Reimbursement shall be 1/6 of the teacher’s daily rate of pay. In addition to the workday required in Article IX, 3, the selected volunteer must be on-site daily for an amount of time equal to the duration of the Preparation Period. B. If a volunteer cannot be found, Physical Education classes may exceed 50 students but shall not exceed 60 students. If any Physical Education class at a junior high school exceeds 50 students, the district shall provide Instructional Assistant support as follows: When any class occurring during the first three class periods exceeds 50 students, three (3) hours of Instructional Assistant time will be assigned to the Physical Education department for the first three periods. If the above occurs during the last three periods, three (3) hours of Instructional Assistant time will be assigned during that time frame. It is understood that in the event that the District chooses to utilize either of these options, the number of Physical Education sections offered shall be calculated by past District practice.) Any certificated staff added pursuant to this section shall be utilized in such a manner as to directly reduce class size. This limitation on the duties of added certificated staff shall not apply to any class which has reached the maximum class size except as provided within this articleadded after April 15th of any year. 7.02 The site/program administrator is required to discuss class size at a member’s request if the member’s class exceeds the loading ratio. 7.03 Instrumental and choral music classes may exceed the maximums by 1.5 times2.
