La Cañada Teachers are
working harder than ever. Class sizes have increased due to the
reduction of FTE’s (Full Time Equivalent teachers). In the
1999-2000 school year LCUSD employed 219.75 teachers and this year they
only employ 196.37 FTE’s. That is a reduction of over
twenty-three teachers. Calculating an average of twenty-one
students per FTE, that should mean that we currently have 483 less
students than we had in 2000. In fact, we have about 20 more students.
