We have a few districts in my state (WA) who are in the midst of a bargain and could strike if they cannot get a tentative agreement. Their fight is about class sizes. One district wants to increase it from 31 to 37.
I wanted to know how many students do you have in your class this year, and what grade you teach. The next question is, do you have any support for overloaded classes?
Today was our official day back I do not know new numbers (we were at the district all day) but last I checked it was 26 for 2nd grade. School starts on the 4th, so I know we will have more enroll as we always do this week.
Yes, if we are at 26 or above we get overload help. In years past it was automatically a certificated teacher, but now depending on how many over we have it's a para ed. We get to use this person daily for an hour to help relieve the overloaded classes. This is bargained in our contract.
