[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are you getting 30 for class size?

If they are increasing MAX size by 1 that would be:

1st - 24+1
2nd - 26+1
3rd - 26+1
4th - 27+1
5th - 27+1

That’s the MAX recommended size. Most classes will not be that large.

The average 5th grade class last year was 21.7. Very few schools had a class that large.

Every single class at ATS will be.  I know, I know, cry me a river, but I do wonder how they are all going to fit in the famously undersized McKinley common spaces.[/quote]

The exterior McKinley classrooms are huge in the old part of the building-- which McKinley used for K, 1st and 2nd. The 3rd grade classrooms at McKinley are the tiniest, but the 4th and 5th grade rooms aren't much bigger. When they built the McKinley addition, they cut down on classroom size a lot to cram more kids into the building. There are also some really awful interior classrooms (no windows) that were originally intended for small group instruction, but got put back into use as classrooms when McKinley got really overcrowded. Those rooms are super tiny with no airflow, and I wouldn't want my kids in them with COVID floating around. But ATS is definitely getting a much nicer building than what they were in before.

Sucks for Key School. 🙃[/quote]

What do you mean by that?  Because the classrooms at Innovation are so small?[/quote]
