Class Size Terms
  • Planning Factors (PF)
  • Approved formulas in which staffing, materials,
    and supplies are allocated to schools.
  • Recommended Maximum Class Size (RM)
  • An approved recommended number that a class size
    should be within and not greater than.
  • Capacity Planning Factor (CPF)
  • A constant that is multiplied times the number
    of K-5 classrooms in a building to determine K-5
    capacity (currently 22.33 students)
  • Increase Class Size by One Based on Planning
    Factors
  • Increase recommended max by one at each grade
    level may or may not change number of students
    in an individual class depending on grade,
    school, school year

Illustrative Example Impact of Class Size
Increase by One on 2009-2010 Elementary Staffing
  • Based on a class size increase of one student
    on 2009-2010 enrollment, schools would have seen
    a reduction of 20 elementary classes
  • Kindergarten decrease of 5 classes
    countywide
  • Grades 1 5 decrease of 15 classes
    countywide

5
Capacity Numbers MGT APS
  • Differences in capacity numbers due to four
    reasons
  • Variation in formula (same number of rooms)
  • Current use vs. potential use
  • Clarity of detail due to 30,000 foot view from
    MGT
  • Adjustments to room uses not yet captured by APS
    (last capacity update Aug 09)

6
Enrollment Projections MGT APS
  • Differences in projection numbers due to
    variation in methodologies
  • APS selects a single methodology
  • MGT uses a combination methodology
  • APS staff and MGT are confident in APS
    methodology
  • Historically accurate within 2 systemwide
  • Updated twice yearly
