[quote=Anonymous]There really isn't a max on class size unless you're in a Title 1 school. Then the state puts a cap at the lower levels based on your percentage of students in poverty. For some schools it might be a cap of 20 in grades k-3 and in other Title 1 schools it might be 24. Schools are staffed based on their enrollment in grades 1-6. (Kindergarten is staff separately). A principal has the discretion to staff grades however he/she sees fit. If over the summer, a lot of students unexpectedly move in, then the school may qualify for an additional teacher. Again, the principal can put that teacher wherever she/he feels. But numbers going up in a particular grade level does not automatically kick in an additional teacher. It's the overall enrollment numbers in grades 1-6 that have to reach a certain point. [/quote]
