- The data available to us begins in 1997, after the state's Class
Size Reduction program was implemented, so our tracking here misses
the largest change of recent decades.
- The ratio has nevertheless risen from about 45 to 46 teachers
per thousand students since 1997.
- The ratio is slightly higher in Los Angeles Unified School
District.
Schools in the Five County Region
expect to hire more than 15,000 teachers in 2002-2003.
