[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there such a rule? Just found out my kid's classroom is up to 31 kids with ONE teacher, as are all the other classes in her grade.
IS THIS ALLOWED??? We are new to FCPS and I'm just in shock and also clueless. [/quote]

My oldest had 34 in his 5th grade class almost ten years ago.  They can be up to 35 in the upper ES grades. [/quote]

that is effing absurd.[/quote]

It is still within the state minimums. [/quote]

Yes, but not within FCPS mins anymore. Class Size Counts and other advocates worked to change it. See Reg. 1302.[/quote]

Those are ‘guidelines’ not rules and it pertains to core classes and instructional groupings.  Homerooms are not core classes nor are they instructional groupings.  The classes for the core classes probably have enough students pulled out for special ed to make them at or below the 29 student guideline for the them and for the instructional groupings.

The Principal is probably having trouble finding another teacher at this late date. [/quote]
