[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But they should NOT allow OOB to increase a class size above some limit -like 22. Why should a class go up to 27 due to OOB?

It is an entirely different story if you get an additional teacher and classes go down with OOB. Increasing class in order to bring in OOB makes no sense. but then they need to have an extra teacher for every grade to keep the class sizes small every year with that many students.[/quote]

Let's assume that PK4 only has 24 IB children - requiring 2 PK classes but right on the bubble for a K class size based on DCPS guidelines.

The following year another 6 IB kids register for K, bringing the total to 30 IB students. The principal has to decide whether to offer just 1 K class (with 30 kids) or petition DCPS for 2 teachers so there can be 2 K classes.

DCPS budgeting won't allow a class of just of 15 so they open slots for 10 OOB K children. Its in both the IB and the potential OOB families to have two classes of K because the class sizes are small. It also probably brings some racial and economic diversity to the school.
