| Certify Class Size™ is a reporting application that gives Florida school and district staff access to classroom, teacher and student information – for every classroom exceeding the limit – on a daily basis, at any time during the year.
With the Florida DOE enforcing the Class Size Amendment with greater scrutiny than ever before – at the classroom level – the time, costs, risk and effort associated with district compliance is great. Many districts recognize that even though they may be attaining compliance, their district processes need to be more efficient. Certify Class Size, based on proven Certify™ district data certification software from Certica Solutions, is a pro-active, easy-to-use application for monitoring compliance with the Class Size Amendment. With Certify Class Size, district can:
- Give principals easy, online access to classroom counts, both non-compliant and compliant; and classroom details, including teachers, students and special program enrollment in each section;
- Decrease the district's dependency on a small set of staff who understand the complex Class Size calculations; and
- Provide a district-wide view of Class Size compliance to administrators; and
- Begin the process of adjusting schedules and assigning teachers earlier in the school year – providing earlier insight into the trade-offs between penalties and hiring costs.
Because of the potential penalties and costs associated with Class Size compliance, district administrators must have pro-active, innovative and cost-effective ways to monitor class size and implement a class size compliance strategy. Certify Class Size allows school and district staff to receive an "early warning" about non-compliance, so they can remedy problems immediately, either by correcting data errors in their scheduling system, or by making changes to student, class and teacher schedules. Certify Class Sizes helps districts:
- Ensure that the data used by FLDOE to calculate Class Size are complete and accurate;
- district's dependency on a small set of staff who understand the complex Class Size calculations; and
- Reduce the time that district and school personnel spend reviewing and troubleshooting Class Size issues.
