IIB
CLASS SIZE
The Ashburnham-Westminster Regional School Committee recognizes that class size is an important factor in good education. Within the constraints of space availability, budget limitations, and all other educational considerations the School Committee will seek to maintain class sizes appropriate for sound instructional practices and for student learning.
Special attention to class size will be given to such unique situations as shop areas, laboratory areas and Special Education instruction.
However, the final recommendations as to class size will be made by the Superintendent of Schools to the School Committee and final decisions will be made by the Ashburnham-Westminster Regional School Committee in the best interest of all.
The Superintendent, in collaboration with building principals, shall be responsible for the routine review of this policy.
