Anonymous wrote:Hey, I am the PP who was blaming Mary Kadera above for the increased class sizes, and I need to sincerely apologize. I thought I remembered reading materials from her suggesting that class sizes should be increased when she was running for school board, as an obvious starting point for budget cuts. I must have been wrong, and I'm sorry for that!

For this school year, for grades K/1, I believe the max class size is 24; for 2/3 it is 26; and for 4/5 it is 28.
They change the max level every year. They increased it twice in a row during the pandemic but I think for this year they lowered it slightly.
These numbers are crazy, my kids' classes were always under 20 a few years ago (S. Arlington)!
