|
|
|
|
||||
This will improve student to teacher ratios and allow teachers to spend more one-on one time with students. Currently, an additional 8,300 teachers are needed to meet one the 1998 legislatively enacted goal of one teacher to every 20 students in grades K-3 across the state. An additional 1,700 teachers in the state's failing schools will help lift them up and unsure all children have quality public education |

Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |

|
|
|
