[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the excel file.

Looks like pretty much all of the other LLIV schools infill with GE or principal placed AAP to fill in their class sizes and keep it relatively consistent across the school.  It's a big excel file so perhaps I missed some

Interesting to see from that classsizecounts site that it did a FOIA and learned that there are over 1,000 FCPS elementary school classrooms that have a class size of 20 or less, so I guess it is not that uncommon.

It just looks like Shrevewood just doesn't infill or principal place; sucks a bit for those other teachers but it's not that bad.  For example the 4th grade AAP class is 15 kids, but the other three 4th grade classes are 20, 21, and 22 kids.  I guess they could principal place 3 kids into the LLIV class to make it 18, 20, 20 and 20 but that mountains out of a molehill.

The fiscally responsible thing would move one teacher and turn it into three classes of 26 kids each.

That's not going to happen.  Parents would be up in arms, especially if you compare it to nearby schools like Lemon Road.

4th grade LR class sizes are 19 (AAP), 19 (AAP), 22 and 23 (combined 4+5 class).  You can't take a teacher away from Shrevewood if Lemon Road has that sort of class size also.  [/quote]

She should not be creating combination classes and having kindergarten classes in the high 20's just to make an AAP class of 14 kids. For all I know this school got an extra teacher beyond what they should have. Phyllis Pajardo agreed that many schools gave false data about their numbers to get additional teachers and then FCPS decided not to pull the teachers. They say they will next year after the 10th day. I still think this school needs some serious oversight. And if Garza thinks other schools are going to stand for class sizes over 30 while Shrevewood AAP classes are well under 20, she better be willing to allow transfers into the school.[/quote]
