Today we have 83,500 pre K through 12 students paid for by the Ed Fund. For the 80,000 who are in public schools, we have 52 supervisory unions, 119 districts and 287 individual schools. We have among the very smallest class sizes in schools in the nation and the very lowest student to teacher and student to staff ratios. Some may think this is a good thing, and maybe it is. But the evidence shows that many high performing schools throughout the country are larger with bigger classes and higher ratios. (25:21–25:32)
