A finalized policy on class sizes
The District 203 Board of Education approved a revised class size policy at its meeting on Monday. The motion came on the heels of months of review and refinement to the draft document, which has gone through several iterations to reflect desired sizes by different grade levels.
At its core, the policy states targeted class sizes should range from 20 to 30 students, per section, though the document does give administrators the authority to run high school classes with 15 or fewer students when deemed appropriate.
The policy also states administrators will monitor class sizes and provide annual reports to the board of education in October.
