43-205. Administrative and Professional Qualifications, Duties
and Workloads For the last three years, the legislature has suspended
staffing ratios (i.e. student/teacher ratios) for all programs, with the exception of four-year-old programs
The suspension of the staffing ratios that are in State Board of Education (SBE) regulation were suspended through a Proviso, which is a part of each year’s General Appropriation Act (i.e. Budget)
Wording in the Proviso changed for the 2012-13 school year and the Proviso was amended to exempt four-year-old programs and programs serving students with exceptional needs from the flexibility provided in Proviso 1.38
43-205. Administrative and Professional Qualifications, Duties
and Workloads Student/teacher ratios (caseload limitations) in SBE regulation 43-
205 are back in effect for self-contained classes, resource classes, multi-categorical classes, and speech-language therapists for the 2012-13 school year
If a district has increased its class sizes for special education classes during the last three years, this class size must now be reduced to comply with current SBE regulation. The staffing ratios are set forth in SBE regulation 43-205
Remember, Provisos are good for one year and there are no assurances concerning what will happen next year
