[quote=Anonymous]Has the planning factor for class sizes actually gone down?  Now there seems to be both a "Planning factor guideline number" (that may be one or two kids below the highs of 5 years ago, maybe?) and a "County Planning Factor Number" that PP cited above that is higher than anything I saw from recent years with 4th and 5th grade classes at 30 kids.

The report seems to be using that high County Planning Factor Number as it's real number, since the shading in the charts is based off that number (yellow if it matches, green if it's under by 2 kids, etc).

It's possible that some class sizes have gone down because enrollment actually decreased because of the pandemic and flight to privates.  But it doesn't seem like that's because of school board planning.  Has the school board actually decreased the planning factor recommendations for class sizes in recent years?  Because it seems like the planning factors have gone up.  In 2015, they were 24/24/26/26/27/27 (K-5).  Now they are apparently 26/26/28/28/30/30 (K-5).[/quote]
