[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI OP - may or may not be helpful.

The WTU-DCPS contract does say that the K class size should not exceed 20 students. It also lists acceptable reasons for deviation from that limit. You should know these before engaging with the administration on this since one or none of these may apply to your school.  http://www.wtulocal6.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/WTU-DCPS-contract.pdf

An acceptable reason for altering the class size may be any of the following:

23.13.3.1 Lack of sufficient funds for equipment, supplies, or rental of classroom space;

23.13.3.2 Lack of classroom space and/or personnel available to permit scheduling of any additional class or classes in order to reduce class size;

23.13.3.3 Conformity to the class size objective because it would result in the organization of half or part time classes;

23.13.3.4 A class larger than the above is necessary and desirable in order to provide for specialized or experimental instruction;

23.13.3.5 Placement of pupils in a subject class for which there is only one (1) on a grade level;

23.13.3.6 Size of specific classroom space is inadequate. [/quote]

At our school, the three Kindergarten classes are typically 25 kids each — and a chunk of those students are OOB.  How foes the school get away with this on a perennial basis?[/quote]
