VATRE - Class Sizes
How can a VATRE help maintain our small class sizes?
- VATRE proceeds help preserve staffing levels that keep student-to-teacher ratios steady so students receive more individual attention.
- When budgets fall short, staffing reductions are a common lever districts use to balance, which can lead to larger class sizes.
- Blanco ISD employs about 167 teachers for 1,105 students, maintaining a close student-to-teacher connection that supports learning.
- Teacher pay averages $57,850 in Blanco ISD compared to $72,030 nationally. Competitive salaries are important for retaining staff, which helps the district maintain stable staffing levels and avoid increases in class sizes.
