The Senate Education Committee today recommended passage of a bill that would encourage school corporations to reduce class sizes in the early grades, beginning with first grade classes in the 1984 85 school year. The measure would expand a pilot "Project Primetime" program statewide and establish a fund that would provide a sliding scale of payments for new teachers or instructional aids to school corporations depending on the size of their classes. State School Supt. Harold Negley told the committee the bill represents "the most important, single educational advance the state has undertaken." John Hammond, an executive assistant to Gov. Robert Orr, said, "This is a bill the governor endorses very strongly." Project Primetime, which showed students learn more in smaller classes, is part of Orr's $35.25 million legislative spending program to improve public education in Indiana.

Under the bill, $19 million would be appropriated to reduce first grade class sizes. School corporations would be entitled to: $4,500 for each first grade class that had a student-teacher ratio of 18 or lower. $3,500 for each class that has a student teacher ratio between 19 to 1 and 24 to 1 and a full-time instructional aid.
