Based on House Bill 90, average class sizes for kindergarten to third grade will be <br /> phased-in as provided below: <br /> 2019 — 2020 1:19 <br /> 2020 — 2021 1:18 <br /> 2021 — 2022 1:17 <br /> Reductions in class size averages are expected to create elementary school capacity <br /> issues for the 2021-2022 school year. In order to address these impacts in time, the Schools <br /> Joint Action Committee (SJAC) has met to review elementary school capacity, impacts, and <br /> determine how to implement the school capacity changes into the SAPFO annual report and 10- <br /> year student membership and building capacity projections sheets. A final recommendation to <br /> implement class size changes shall occur this fall as outlined below. <br /> 1. Orange County Planning, OCS, and CHCSS staff will finalize school capacity numbers <br /> for SJAC and SAPFOTAC Report purposes over the summer. <br /> 2. Finalized school capacity numbers, 10-year student projections, and implementation <br /> options will be presented at the Schools Collaboration meeting in August for review and <br /> discussion prior to Board of Education meetings. Pre-K classroom capacity and impacts <br /> may be discussed at this time to determine next steps. <br />
