Students have been selected through lotteries, let down or gotten lucky in the annual verdicts to cut classes and pick students for the popular classes for the 2010-2011 school year.
The number of classes cancelled this year is not out of the ordinary. Janet Wilson, as the 10/12 Scheduler, said that there were “actually a little less [classes cancelled this year].” Lipkowitz said that the class sizes have increased slightly because of the faculty hiring freeze. However, “the class average has not increased; there are just uneven [student] numbers,” Lipkowitz said.
There are no financial ramifications of cancelling classes. “We have not laid any faculty or staff off…every teacher will teach a full load even if some classes are cancelled because we still have the same number of students who are all taking full course loads,” Lipkowitz said.
