If your class exceeds the maximum number of students permitted, notify your chapter leader immediately.
During the first 10 days of school (and the first 10 days of each term), the chapter leader and the principal will attempt to informally resolve all class-size issues. If the matter is still unresolved on the 19th day of the school term, the UFT district rep and the superintendent will meet to resolve the issue for any class exceeding the maximum limits set forth in the contract.
On the 21st day of the term, the Class Size Labor Management Committee will deal with any remaining oversized classes and will meet until all schools with an oversized class have had the issue addressed. If the committee cannot resolve the issues within the school, the UFT may file a demand for arbitration within two school days of the committee addressing the school. Arbitration will start withing five days of the filing of the demand.
If you receive additional students during the year that put your class size over the contractual limit notify your chapter leader at the time as well.
