The budgeted for a class-size ratio of 22:1 in kindergarten law extended this limitation to kindergarten through grade through grade 4 but has a campus (or campuses) with 4 beginning with the 1988-1989 school year.Today, it is enrollment increases or shifts that result in exceeding this generally recognized that smaller class size in elementary limit by only one or two students in only one section at grades positively affects student achievement.

  • Fall 2007 Advocate
    WHERE DID TESTING GO WRONG? RATLIFF REFLECTS ON EDUCATION AdvocateTexas State Teachers Association/National Education Association FALL 2007 High Cost of Dropping Out TSTA/NEA parental involvement campaign targets border areas PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Be a Part of Our Schools’ Success In August, several Texas newspapers ran my op-ed column on parental involvement. It’s part of the multimedia campaign we’re running this fall in several school districts on the border (see pages 14-17), and it includes some good information that I thought you might want to share with parents. Here’s an excerpt: We need your help. If you’re a parent with a child or children in Texas public schools, professional educators need your help as the 2007-08 academic year begins. Parental involvement in their chil- dren’s education matters—a lot. Every parent’s involvement in a child’s education helps that young person’s likeli- hood of succeeding in school. The more time a parent can invest, the greater the payoff for the child. In “A Parent’s Guide to Supporting School Success,” the National Education Asso- ciation suggests what parents can do: • Talk to your child’s teachers regularly. • Support your child’s teachers and encourage your child to respect teachers and behave appropriately at school. • Be clear and direct in your expectations of your child’s teachers. Let them know you are looking for teachers who listen and recognize what you have to offer to support your child’s education. • Let teachers know about any situations or conditions at home that may affect your child’s performance.
