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


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 1stthrough 3rd grade be packed with students with IEPs, up to the contractual maximum of 32 per class.
