This information was requested for the joint meeting on Sept 26th - Neil Original Message Wednesday, September 21, 2005 1:30:13 PM Message From: "Alexis Schauss" <ASchauss @dpi state ,nc.us> Subject: Re: Clarification requested To: Neil G Pedersen Attachments: K- 3CIassSize 2005.xls 27K As to the consequences As you are aware there is no waiver option for the LEA average for the grade. For those LEAs that were over, the LEA was notified and told to rearrange their classes to comply with the law. The data I have provided to you was pulled from the end of the second month (School Activity Report) and therefore will not reflect the corrections made. Last year, due to the legislation being passed late, not all LEAs were able to comply with the 3rd grade class size reduction until mid way through the first semester. In addition, some LEAs experienced unexpected increases in students that had not been accounted for in their initial allotments and therefore they are waiting for the 1 st month allotment adjustment before they could hire additional teachers In the event that the LEA does not act, State Board of Education is notified and if it is deemed that the LEA is willfully neglecting to comply with the law, the Superintendents salary is frozen. In the past, the LEA -wide average has not been as much as a problem as the individual class size maximum Alexis Schauss Chief, Information Analysis and Reporting NCDPI All e -mail correspondence to and from this address is subject to the North Carolina Public Records Law, which may result in monitoring and disclosure to third parties, including law enforcement.
