AFT Resolution
CLASS SIZE FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION
WHEREAS, class size is of paramount importance in the education of pupils; and
WHEREAS, class size is extremely critical in the area of Special Education since handicapped children are especially in need of maximum individual attention:
RESOLVED, that for all special education programs, maximum class sizes should be negotiated by the collective bargaining representative of the teachers; and
RESOLVED, that where mainstreaming with regular pupils is involved that class size should not exceed the limits established for special education classes.
