Class Size Accountability Requirements • The amount of the initial Class size reduction shall be the lesser of the previous slide’s calculated amount or the undistributed balance of the district's class size categorical allocation. • The Commissioner is authorized to withhold the distribution of the class size categorical allocation to ensure the availability of sufficient undistributed funds to support the implementation of the calculated reduction.
