[quote=Anonymous]Page 197 in the Approved Budget for 2014 starts the discussion on the needs based staffing ratio as well as the appendix starting on page 359. Special Ed level 2 students are counted differently as are ESOL and FARM students. AAP students are not counted differently. There are proposals to tweak the ratios this year to close the budget shortfall, but I don't have the link right now to the school board documents. I saw it in a posting here recently though. Below are some recent postings on class size and the needs based staffing ratio. Class size can be very large in some schools and much smaller in others even when schools are not Title 1 which is another layer that limits the size of classes in certain schools regardless of whatever ratio FCPS uses. Other counties count all students the same an then allocate extra resources separately. FCPS allocates separate resources and counts these students differently.
