22 Pa. Code § 405.43 - Class size and student/staffing ratio
(a) Program class enrollments are limited to
at most 20 students with at least one teacher and one aide in the classroom,
however, for high quality programming a maximum of 17 students is
recommended.
(b) If a Program class
has ten or fewer students, there shall be one teacher in the classroom and an
aide must be available onsite to assist the teacher as needed.
