[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Let's say a school has 35 1st graders. The cap is 30. So, they are obligated to have two 1st grade classes -- 17 and 18 in each class respectively. Another school has 50 1st graders, which would make 25/class. You could send some of those kids to the other school and that would help even out the class sizes. I know, it's not that simple, but this is the kind of thing that would help make class sizes smaller.[/quote] That is mostly a function of small school vs. big school, I think. If the school is small, it only takes a small number of students to get an additional teacher -- or to lose a teacher. If the school is large, you need more students to get or lose a teacher. So the class sizes are more stable. Rezoning would certainly help with number of lunch shifts, room on the playground, and so on.[/quote]
