Class size limits and Cuomo finally picks a parent for his Commission, but very carefully...

by Leonie Haimson

Southern Regional Education Board just came out with their recommendations on class size reduction:

Maintain rigorous and enforceable classsize policies in the early grades: Policymakers and education leaders should resist the urge to relax small-class policies for early grades students, even when budgets are tight.

Too bad NYC DOE is now mandating that early grade classes in 1^stthrough 3^rd grade be packed with students with IEPs, up to the contractual maximum of 32 per class.
