[quote=Anonymous]It depends. Many school districts in the DC metropolitan region already have many schools that are overcapacity and large class sizes. In our school, class sizes can go down to 20 students per class without decreasing staff. Since we had many classes with 24-28 students per class, that's a fair amount of student attrition that would not result in any teacher layoffs (up to 30% in some classes). If the attrition rate is less than that, then we will not see teacher layoffs. Additionally, some of the lower enrollment schools may lose teachers, but there are still many over-capacity schools in the school district and they may shuffle teachers from lower enrollment schools to higher enrollment schools or to cover openings that never got filled the last two school years. I'm sure there are some overworked teachers who are handling more classes than they should, that will appreciate having other teachers transferred in to take some of their classes.[/quote]
