"We are well positioned to restore 140.3 school-based positions. This will include 92.8 classroom positions in elementary schools, meaning that there will be no changes to the staffing formulas for students in grades 1 through 5, 37.5 classroom positions at the middle school level," Rogers said.
The middle school positions also mean smaller class sizes. There will be an average of 24 students per class. It was 25 before the announcement.
The county will also bring back 10 high school assistant principals.
Klausmeier said taxes will not go up because of this.
The funding is not finalized and is subject to County Council approval.
