The county’s two largest school districts should have larger
classroom sizes, but officials say they will not have official
numbers until the end of the week.

With crowded classrooms the task of educating students is only going to get more difficult, San Benito High School Superintendent Stan Rose said. The high school expects to have more than 2,900 students with fewer teachers than last year. Rose, however, would not provide numbers of any sort until officials have a more precise idea.
In the Hollister School District, Superintendent Gary McIntire expects most classrooms to have more than 33 students, as some parents have complained early on about classes approaching 40 students.
“Class sizes are rather large right now – larger than we would like to see them,” McIntire said. “We will continue to maneuver our staff based on the class sizes to keep them down.”
