You only get so many teachers for so many students per school from FCPS. If the numbers of kids divides evenly into the staffing teacher ratio (right now at about 26.5 students per teacher before additional students are added for ESOL and FRM) there is no need for a combination class. So if a principal is able to divide their LLIV kids into neat groups of 24-29, there is no real problem in terms of staffing. The problem comes when a principal is left over with 10-18 kids and can't really justify a class just for them while also having to raise other classes above 30 students. In this case he/she needs to create a combination class or do some special regrouping to make the majority of classes fit into that 24-29 student to teacher ratio. Or they need to create some large class sizes over 30 which isn't popular with the parents with kids in those grades. FCPS has said they will ask each school to look at reconfiguring before they will give additional teachers.

This is already a problem in center schools.  The answer is to get rid of centers and self-contained AAP and give ALL teachers smaller classes.  Problem solved.[/quote]
