IV. C. Instructional Arrangements
Class Size
The recommended class size shall be determined by the nature of subjects taught, grade level and the classrooms and teachers available. Though a considerable range shall be allowed to accommodate these factors, as a matter of policy, twenty-five shall be deemed the most desirable size for most classes.
However, in the interim of reaching the optimum pupil to teacher ratio, both parties agree that, in accordance with contractual arrangement, no teacher, absent extraordinary circumstances, shall be required to teach more than the number of pupils per class according to the schedule outlined in the contract with the West Warwick Teachers' Alliance.

Grouping
School principals shall be responsible for grouping as deemed necessary so that they may more nearly have the opportunity to reach their maximum potential.
Principals shall consider the strengths and weaknesses of their teachers in making teaching assignments where grouping gives varying characteristics to classes.
