The district's average elementary class size last year was 22.80 students, he said. The UEA surveyed every elementary class in the state Oct. 1, 1981 to determine the number of students enrolled. Ulmer said the statewide average class size for elementary classes this year is 27.29 student- s- up from last years average of 26.97 students. At least part of the blame for this increase in class size is due to backsliding on the part of the Utah State Legislature after that body made an earlier commitment to reducing the size of classes in Utah," Ulmer said. The Legislature, after placing a law on the books which set a goal of 24 students per class in the kindergarten through third grades, lessened the state's dedication this year to smaller classes, he added. The lawmakers did this by removing the mandate for reducing class sizes and forcing the program to compete with others for fundingfunding that was reduced by Ulmer said. "For years, Utah schools have had the largest class sizes in the entire nation, he said, adding that smaller classes in the kindergarten through third grade are critically important to boys and girls who are learning to read, to work arithmetic problems and to write. Each one needs plenty of from the teacher." Tintic School District's average 1981-8- 2 class size breakdown by grades is one-third- ," at-tenti- kindergarten, 13.00 students; first grade, 19.00 students; second grade, 13.00 students; third grade, 18.00 students.
