Texas education code requires districts to submit for class size waivers should they have pre-K through fourth-grade classes that exceed the recommended amount of students.
The district has four kindergarten, two first-grade, three second-grade, one third-grade and two fourth-grade classes with 23 students in each class, according to a staff memo. There is also one second-grade class with 24 students, according to a request for waivers presented to the board of trustees at a Feb. 28 meeting.
The board voted unanimously to approve the recommended waivers for three kindergarten classrooms, four second-grade classrooms and two fourth-grade classrooms.
It is unclear why waivers for each classroom with more than 22 students were not recommended for waiver approvals. The district could not immediately be reached to explain.
