which measure

Question

A sentence: The US government should cut down classes in high school, which measure dovetails with a rundown of the number of secondary students.

I am arguing with a person; we are at each other's throats. The sentence I think is correct regarding WHICH MEASURE. I am not going into detail; I just give example sentences to show how I understand the sentence:

1.He may not come, in which case you must tell her at once.
2.I trusted your judgement on the matter, which judgement was based on experience.

Do you think the sentence I give at the beginning is correct?

I am arguing with a person; we are at each other's throats.It's great to be passionate about English grammar!

The sentence I think is correct regarding WHICH MEASURE. I am not going into detail; I just give example sentences to show how I understand the sentence:

1.He may not come, in which case you must tell her at once. This is not a similar example.
2.I trusted your judgement on the matter, which judgement was based on experience. Similar

Do you think the sentence I give at the beginning is correct? Yes, although it's a rather rhetorical and uncommon style.

I don't think the terms 'cut down classes' and 'rundown of the number' are very suitable. They sound like the English of a bureaucrat.
