Secondary Class Size. Students will be equitably distributed among the various classes to which a secondary teacher is assigned. In no event will the number of students per class exceed the student maximum per day (see Article VI-A, 2-3) divided by five (5) plus ten percent (10%). Homeroom, special education and music will continue to be governed by the total student maximums only.
Secondary Class Size. The District and the Association agree that class size will be maintained to meet the following standards: The following class loads shall be maintained: • Classes in grades 6-8 should not exceed 30 students. • Classes in grades 9-12 should not exceed 32 students.
Section 13.3.1 The daily load for teachers of grades 6-8 shall not exceed one-hundred fifty (150) students. The daily load for teachers of grades 9-12 shall not exceed one-hundred fifty-five (155) students. Exceptions must be approved by the Labor Management process. Full remedies in Section 13.3.4 will be applied retroactively.
Section 13.3.2 Each middle and high school building shall receive thirty (30) minutes per FTE classroom teacher per week of assistant time. This time may be used for instructional assistants, theme readers, or other direct help to relieve work load as determined annually by building staff. Individual secondary teachers may choose to exceed the class loads for specific periods without triggering remedies in order to have smaller numbers in other periods, as long as their total contractual daily load limit is not exceeded. Impact of special education students on general education classrooms: When possible, IEP and 504 identified students will be assigned in a manner that results in an equitable apportionment among general education teachers at each school, with special consideration for the nature and extent of the disability in order to meet individual student needs. Buildings will develop a process to review individual teacher concerns regarding equitable distribution of students. When a teacher believes that the number of high needs students will impact the class, a meeting with the administrator and teacher will take place to review the supports needed.
