How will the approved budget affect class size?
Portland Public Schools has a fairly transient student population. As the student population stabilizes over the summer, classroom sizes will be monitored and adjustments made at each school as necessary to maintain a productive class size and student/teacher ratio. The Portland School Committees current policy on class size will remain the same for fiscal year 2010. Portlands class size ratios are set under the state maximum size regulations due to the diversity of student learning needs.
