Wake County district seeks waiver on class size limits

Nov. 18, 2009
Board asks state to exceed limit of 24 students in primary grades

From The Raleigh News & Observer: Wake County (N.C.) school board members have asked permission for 66 elementary schools to exceed state class size limits in kindergarten through third grade. The schools, representing nearly two-thirds of the district's elementary schools, need state permission to continue to have more than 24 students in 329 kindergarten through third-grade classrooms. Class sizes have risen as fewer teachers were hired because of a $3.2 billion state revenue shortfall this year.
