I am not sure why Dr. Thorton is referencing a contract that he clearly does not feel he needs to follow. The contract does allow for up to 28 students in a class, but students with IEP's count as 1.5 or 2.0 students towards the total. This allows for manageable class sizes, adequate special education support, and allows for an overall better learning environment for ALL students. I am glad that Thorton has a "goal for max class sizes of 25" but those classes are disproportionately full of special education students. This is complete spin and absolutely paints a different picture than the reality of the classes that are currently scheduled. This is a complete misrepresentation of the facts.
