Class Size Reductions Clause Samples

The Class Size Reductions clause establishes limits on the number of students assigned to each classroom or teacher. Typically, it sets maximum student-to-teacher ratios for different grade levels or subjects, and may require the hiring of additional staff or the reorganization of classes if these limits are exceeded. This clause is designed to ensure manageable class sizes, which can improve educational outcomes and provide a better learning environment by allowing teachers to give more individualized attention to students.
