When newly hired teachers come in this fall, they will work with veteran teachers for a semester. This will give the teachers and students a chance to know each other before smaller, one-teacher classes are formed in the second semester. The district has 11 portable classrooms available and needs an additional 19 by the second semester, Harper said. In early discussions, trustees considered rotating school days and having larger classes with two teachers. School board member David Pollock said he thinks the final choice to phase in reduction of children per classroom was a reasonable decision. Pollock said he is pleased with progress. ``I'm confident that we'll have the teachers in place and that this will go well,'' Pollock said. The legislation seeks to reduce class size to no more than 20 pupils per teacher in kindergarten through third grade. State money will only cover part of the costs to hire 30 teachers and add portable classrooms, officials said. District officials said they expect total cost of hiring the extra teachers to be $1,597,998, including $437,738 from the district's own general fund. |
