[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP, but looking at the open positions at Navy gives me a glimmer of hope. I heard there were more people hired than leaving, so are those additional classroom teacher positions for the grades that are overcrowded? Because if admin can fill 24 vacant positions AND find extra teachers on top of that to lower the class sizes, they would be a hero in my eyes. Some of those class sizes are absolutely ridiculous. [/quote] That’s not how it works. FCPS uses a formula based on the specific total school population to determine how many teachers can be hired at each school. And then the principal can place them accordingly. But often they don’t qualify for an additional teacher and one upper grade level that is larger can suffer as a result. The state cap for grades 4-6 is 35. For Grades 1-3 it’s lower. Priority is given to lower grades with regards to class sizes.[/quote]
