What Every Educator Needs to Know About HB 3652

Gives Educators a Voice HB 3652 isn't a mandate—it simply allows us to bring class size and caseload solutions to the bargaining table.
Student Success Connection Research consistently shows that reasonable class sizes and caseloads directly improve student outcomes and educational experiences.
Local Solutions This bill empowers local bargaining teams to negotiate appropriate limits that work for their specific communities and district needs.
Advocacy Rights We're simply asking for the right to advocate for better learning conditions—not to impose arbitrary limits.

When educators brought our school board a class size proposal it provided valuable insights into the issues facing educators and students. There is no doubt that class size and case load is a central feature of an educator’s workload.
