Class Size

In our 2019 Strike, we eliminated Section 1.5 of our contract in order to win enforceable class size caps and a progressive reduction over time. This agreement builds off of that victory and further reduces ALL class size maximums and averages by 2 over the next three school years. A phase-in approach was agreed to given the lack of time to hire for the upcoming school year. 100 district-identified schools will start reduction 2023-24, and all other schools will follow the phase-in process in the chart below.
