Car Tax Hike Urged "My prediction is that without flexibility, class-size reduction will be a memory by the end of this decade," Fleming said. Indeed, school districts and others have been lobbying Sacramento to create more flexibility in how the program is run. A bill in the state Senate would allow districts to have as many as 22 students in K-3 classrooms, as long as school averages remained at 20. Davis has not taken a position on the bill. Administrators said it would stop schools from overstaffing to ensure the hard cap of 20 to 1. Opponents, including the state teachers union, said the measure would open the door to ever-larger classes.
"It's the only reform in the last 15 years that I know of that has had some kind of positive impact," said Johnson, of the teachers association.
