RCS BOARD ADDRESSES CLASSROOM SIZE

(Richmond, IN)--The Richmond Community School Board met this week to discuss policy and, in particular, class sizes.  Superintendent Dr. Curtis Wright said that the belief by some that classrooms are oversized is simply not accurate.  "I believe that there has been a concern for many years that classroom sizes are extended and enlarged when that has not been the case," Wright said.  The policy would eliminate specific requirements by number for student-teacher ratios.  "Even after historic reduction in force, we still are below what the guidelines call for," Wright added.  The policy would leave class size at the discretion of the superintendent and would be monitored on a regular basis.
