Staff at Hellgate School Strive to Fulfill Class Size Regulations
Hellgate High School Faces Challenges with Increased Class Sizes and Staffing
As Hellgate High School begins the new school year, the institution is grappling with the consequences of budget cuts and class size limitations. Principal Judson Miller confirmed that the limit of 30 students per class is contractual, not a law.
Despite the rule, which has been in place for at least 9 years, the average class size has increased due to the budget cuts. Unfortunately, the school does not currently plan on hiring any new staff to address this issue, as the cuts have affected their ability to do so.
The increased class sizes have caused a ripple effect, with many classes being affected by the lack of staff members. As a result, there aren't enough teachers to enroll all the students who signed up for these classes, leading to some students being unsatisfied with their schedules.
The demand for certain classes, particularly high demand required classes, is higher than the number of available seats. This means that many students are unable to switch into these classes due to high interest. The administration and counselors are working to address these issues in the first couple of weeks of school.
The school's staff is doing their best to meet student needs while fulfilling their own requirements. The administration and counselors have successfully been able to switch people's schedules to meet their quota, without there being any major issues. However, the situation remains challenging, as Hellgate High School continues to navigate the effects of budget cuts and class size limitations.
Despite these challenges, Hellgate High School has managed to start the new school year, demonstrating the resilience and adaptability of its students, staff, and administration in the face of adversity.
