Could you find the class size for elementary school students in Kentucky and the proper length for school year? I found 185 days, including 10 non-instructional days but I don’t know what that means.

According to the Kentucky Department of Education:
The number of days in the school year is 187 days (includes 177 days of instruction; 4 days of professional development; 4 holidays; 2 planning days)

The number of students in a classroom is regulated by Kentucky state law 157.360

Except as provided in subsection (5) of this section, the maximum number of pupils enrolled in a class shall be as follows:

1. Twenty-four (24) in primary grades (kindergarten through third grade);

2. Twenty-eight (28 ) in grade four (4);

3. Twenty-nine (29) in grades five (5) and six (6);

4. Thirty-one (31) in grades seven (7) to twelve (12)
