Class Size and Base # teachers ESO #2 Network Principal Meeting, March 25, 2009
Calculating base # of teachers using Contract Maximum Class Size • Example: the base # of teachers for a Title 1 Middle School (6-8) with 850 students (max class size 30) and a teacher ratio of 1.4 would be calculated as follows” • Total # of students/max class size x Teacher Ratio • 850/30 =28.3 x 1.4 = 39.6 Teacher • So, using this information you can look at your T.O. and review your # of teachers – remember – we must fund required teachers with tax levy, and the # of teachers ABOVE required minimum can potentially be funded with re-imburseable dollars ESO #2 Network Principal Meeting, March 25, 2009

C4E funds must be used to improve the performance of students with greatest educational needs. ESO #2 Network Principal Meeting, March 25, 2009
Funding Choices • “re-imburseable” sources – Title 1, Title III have a “fringe factor” markup- when used in salaries: • 40% salaries • 18.42% per session • 8.15 % per diem • Review your TO in a different way: • (it defaults to organizational view) • Hit Info, views, allocation, allocation by academy- you will now see in total by allocation category how you have scheduled your funds ESO #2 Network Principal Meeting, March 25, 2009
