The K-3 Override was originally approved to provide all day Kindergarten for
In 2005, voters overwhelmingly approved a K-3 Override. The K-3 Override reduces kindergarten class sizes to a District-wide target of 21 students to 1 teacher. These funds also allow us to reduce class sizes in grades 1, 2 and 3 considerably below normal staffing levels. Additional funds are used for instructional assistants in kindergarten and first grade as needed. The Override raises about $3.2 million per year. The Override is in place for seven years and will be brought back to voters to be extended. If the K-3 Override is not renewed by the voters in 2009, it will reduce by one-third each year and result in an approximate loss of $3.5 million by 2011. If the K-3 Override is not renewed, class sizes for kindergarten could go as high as 28 students, first grade as high as 29 students and 2nd and 3rd grades as high as 31 students.
