The Florida Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday for and against the constitutional amendment to ease class-size restrictions in public schools.

Two weeks after supporters of Amendment 8 began a campaign to urge Floridians to vote in favor of the constitutional change that would relax caps on class sizes, opponents of the measure are fighting back.

All of the major candidates for governor are pushing for the change in the state Constitution that dictates how large school classrooms can be, which could let some classes increase slightly in size.

Supporters of a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow for a more lenient way of counting students to give schools flexibility on meeting class-size requirements touted the positions of the gubernatorial candidates in a release Wednesday, saying the candidates were putting policy over politics by unanimously supporting the proposed change in the law.
