District caps pre-K at 18 students to avoid adding second classroom aide
Summary
Superintendent said the district caps pre-K classes at 18 students with one teacher and one classroom aide; New York State allows up to 21 students but exceeding 18 would require a second aide, which the district prefers to avoid.
The Superintendent said the district’s pre-kindergarten classes are capped at 18 students and are staffed with one teacher and one classroom aide. "Pre-K classes are capped at 18. They require a teacher along with a classroom aid," she said.
She added that New York State allows pre-K classes to reach 21 students, but that surpassing 18 would necessitate a second classroom aide. The Superintendent said the district’s preference is to keep classes at 18 so that each class maintains a teacher plus one aide rather than adding a second aide when enrollment exceeds the local cap.
