- 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.
- 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.
Schools in the Five County
Region expect to hire more than 10,000 teachers in
2005-2006.

- About 7% of all teaching positions will become open
this year.
