ATLANTA — The state Board of Education will give school systems the choice in determining how large classes should be next year.
The move is aimed to provide Georgia's 180 public school districts flexibility on how to spend their limited funding amid the worst state financial crisis in decades. It's the second year in a row the state school board has granted such a waiver. However, last year class size was limited to an average of two more students per class.
Currently, maximum class size for kindergarten is 22 students, in first- through third-grade it is 23 students and in fourth- through 12th-grade it is 30 students. School systems will now be able to raise the size of a class by as many students as they deem necessary.
