Teacher Loads. A. It is recognized by the Board that pupil-teacher ratio is an important aspect of an effective educational program. The Board agrees to continue its effort to keep class sizes to an acceptable number as dictated by the financial conditions of the district and the building facilities available, the availability of qualified teachers, and the best interest of the district as deemed administratively feasible. But both parties shall strive for: Kindergarten 25 pupils Early Elementary 25 pupils Later Elementary 25 pupils Secondary Level Classes English 25 pupils Industrial arts 30 pupils Social Studies 25 pupils Drafting 20 pupils General Mathematics 30 pupils Art 25 pupils Advanced Mathematics 25 pupils Physical Education 40 pupils General Sciences 30 pupils Computers Lab size Advance Sciences 25 pupils Life skills 25 pupils Languages 25 pupils General Business 30 pupils Advanced Business 25 pupils B. Because the Board of Education has the statutory duty to educate all children within the boundaries of the school district and because the student-teacher ratio is an important aspect of an educational program and because the number of students a teacher is required to instruct may have a direct bearing upon the amount of work required of the individual teacher, the parties agree that the size of the individual classes shall be given careful consideration and any inequities adjusted upon the request of the teacher if economically and educationally feasible and desirable as determined by the board.
