pupil enrollment in the previous school year may enter into a five-year guarantee
contract with the department of public instruction to reduce class size and improve
academic achievement in grades kindergarten to three. Class size is defined as the
number of pupils assigned to a regular classroom teacher on the third Friday of
September. This bill defines class size as the number of pupils assigned to a regular
classroom teacher or teacher aide on the third Friday of September.
