CLASS SIZE. This Article is to evidence the Board and the Association agreement to attempt to address the issue of class size. Nothing contained in this Article shall be subject to the grievance procedure of this Agreement. The Board has guidelines for all class sizes which reflect an awareness of two responsibilities: 1) maintaining class size at a reasonable level in order to deliver quality educational services, while 2) maintaining expenditures at a level commensurate with district revenues. Because the number of students for any specific grade level or building is influenced by a variety of factors beyond the district's control, class size guidelines must be viewed as building averages: 25 students for primary grades (K-3), 26 students for intermediate grades (4-5), and 27 students for middle school grades (6-8). When determining the number of students assigned to a class, the District will continue to take into consideration the subject being taught, the physical limitations of the classroom, and the make-up of the students assigned, including the number of students identified as ELL and or special needs. Individual sections which exceed guidelines will be reviewed according to the following cooperative process: A. By March 15th a preliminary discussion will be held by the Superintendent and the Association President regarding projected enrollments and class sizes. B. By May 1st each building principal and Building Council will jointly review and evaluate projected enrollments and recommended staffing plans for the next school year.

When developing homerooms in the spring, all Tier C students who will be included for 50% of their day or more will be assigned to the regular classroom. (This option will be used in schools where there are self-contained Bilingual and ESL classrooms.) 2. If there are classes which because of inclusion exceed reasonable limits (30 or more), the Building Council will consider ways in which to arrange staff member schedules to eliminate the imbalance. C. During May, the Superintendent and Association President will review projected enrollments and staffing plans for the next school year. D. As a result of both Step #1 and Step #2, solution options recognizing enrollments, staffing alternatives, class structure alternatives, and finances will be identified on an individual section basis. E. The Superintendent and Association President...
