Georgia's largest school district will become the first to take advantage of a new law giving more flexibility on class size and teacher pay. Today the state school board unanimously approved a plan for Gwinnett County to have more say in how to organize schools, how large classes should be and how to use state funding. In exchange, the county promised that students will perform better than is required under federal No Child Left Behind standards. Gwinnett County parents and teachers expressed concern over the proposal, worried that classes could grow too large and that the district won't have enough state oversight.
