Grades TK-3. It is the District's goal to make progress toward class sizes in grades TK-3, inclusive, in each of the District's elementary schools that do not exceed a teacher-student ratio of 25:1 by 2017-18. This language is intended to set forth an alternative limit above the 24:1 requirement of the LCFF. This class size ratio shall be calculated in the same manner as the 24:1 ratio under LCFF, as that calculation may change from time to time. The District and SVEA agree that the District's negotiated alternative class size ratio meets all requirements of the LCFF's Class Size Reduction collective bargaining exception. If this subdivision no longer meets the requirements of law, CSR is not fully funded, or implementation of this subdivision 10.2.1 would result in the District paying a penalty or losing other funds available under the LCFF, the District and SVEA agree to commence negotiations on this subdivision 10.2.1 and class sizes at TK-3 will revert to the previous agreement at a ratio of 29:1.
