The Morgan-Hart Class Size Reduction Act provides funds to school
districts for participating schools that reduce class size in
Grade 9 English and one other Grade 9 course required for graduation,
either Mathematics, Science, or Social Studies. The majority of
pupils in participating classes must be identified as Grade 9
students. (Districts which implemented the program prior to June
30, 1998 may also be serving Grades 10, 11, or 12.)
Average class size for the school year at each participating school
can be no more than 20:1 per certificated teacher and no more
than 22 pupils enrolled in any participating class.
