Rhode Island panel supports class size increase for special education

Jan. 4, 2008
State raised class size guidelines to save money

A subcommittee of the Rhode Island Board of Regents for Elementary and Secondary Education has recommended that the increase in class size instituted in September for certain special education students be allowed to continue.

Some parents and the Providence Teachers Union have challenged the change. The full Board of Regents will consider the subcommittee’s recommendation next week.
