State Gets Budget Deal Funds Boost for Class Size Cuts

The 1998 act already provided 19.6 million to reduce class sizes to 15 in first through third grades, targeting districts with high poverty and low performance. Officials say the extra funds could also aid kindergarten and grades four to six, while critics warn future funding is uncertain and may shift costs to the state.
