[quote=Anonymous]If I understand your post, the school went from 3 second grade classes with 18 students each to 2 classes with 25 each? That means there are 4 fewer 2nd graders at your school now than there were last year, and further than those 3 classes last year were under enrolled. As PP said, 18 is under the WTU-DCPS contract limit, and is hard to sustain given the per pupil funding. They likely anticipated more enrollment for second grade last year, created 3 classes and for whatever reason the enrollment didn't reach that level. The current year class sizes and budgets are based on the prior year's enrollment. Given that, it's not surprising that they increased the class sizes/eliminated the 3rd one. And that extra OOB student will likely help increase the budget next year. Your complaint should be with the DCPS budgeting process, and the broader per pupil funding model in the city -- not with that one OOB student. [/quote]
