[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A parent on the APS Budget Advisory Committee (BAC) told me that increased class sizes are going to be on the table as part of the budget process this year. The County Board told APS they have to come up with a balanced/no increase budget, which means serving more kids for the same amount of money. Last year's process resulted in a reduction in FLES instruction instead, but there is going to be a lot of pressure from the County Board to increase class size this year. It also (in their eyes) would help hold down construction costs because [b]more kids in each classroom means fewer classrooms necessary[/b]-- and therefore less need to expand buildings.[/quote] Yes. It would also mean less individual attention, more behavior problems and more kids falling through the cracks. We are so screwed w/o JV.[/quote]
