Quality of Life
Scope of Projects
School Class Size
Issues related to School Class Size include:
Lack of certified teachers to meet “Highly Qualified in Field” requirement of No Child Left Behind
Quality of teacher interaction with parents
Support for teachers in urban school areas
State of Florida Amendment #9 states that by 2010, class sizes must be a maximum of:
K-3 – 18 students
4-8 – 22 students
High School Core (language arts, math, science, social studies) – 25 students
Initially Broward County was able to comply through averages across the district, and is in the process of moving to per class and teacher compliance
Were able to attract 2075 new teachers this year to Broward County, however ongoing issue of keeping teachers as 50% leave within 5 years
Ongoing issue of attracting and retaining certified, qualified teachers to meet class size mandates
