  1. Update: SAGE Flexibility Act 95 of 2011 Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction

  2. Act 95 • Allows flexibility for districts and schools with current SAGE contracts • MUST maintain 18:1 or 30:2 in K and 1 • Choose to maintain 18:1 or 30:2 in grades 2, 3, both, or neither in one or more years of the contract • No SAGE aid for grade levels not implementing 18:1 or 30:2 class size ratios • NOTE: Class size ratios are based on classroom configurations on third Friday in September

  3. Compliance in K-1 • Kindergarten and 1st Grade MUST adhere to 18:1 or 30:2 • No waivers allowed • Failure to maintain SAGE class size requirements in K-1 could result in loss of contract

  4. Grades 2-3 Flexibility • Schools can choose to participate in either grade 2, 3, both, or neither on an annual basis • To receive aid for a grade level, all classrooms or sections at that grade level must adhere to the 18:1 or 30:2 class size ratios • Example: In second grade, class sizes are 18:1, 18:1, and 19:1; school does NOT receive aid for any students in second grade.

  5. Reporting • Schools and districts do not need to inform DPI of decisions related to grades 2-3 prior to the reporting of class sizes on the SAGE Entitlement Form (ENT) • More details on how to report decisions related to SAGE class size ratios in grades 2-3 on the ENT will be provided at a later date

  6. Impact on SAGE Aid • DPI will not be able to assess the impact on SAGE aid or the per pupil amount until after ENTs have been submitted in Fall 2012 • If additional funding is available, schools and districts will have the opportunity to apply via the ENT for additional aid in January 2013
