September 25, 2025 at 6:30 PM - Regular Meeting

The district has had and will continue to have the position posted for grades that go over the 22 to 1 limit, and will fill the position when a certified teacher is located.  We recently hired a teacher for First Grade.


A district must submit a request for a class size exception for any classrooms in prekindergarten - fourth grade that exceed the 22 students class size limit (Texas Education Code §25.112, Note:  Pre-K class size limits were added beginning with the 2021-2022 school year). A district seeking an exception must notify the commissioner and apply for the exception not later than the later of (1) October 1; or 2) the 30th day after the first school day the district exceeds the limit. Note: class size limits do not apply to physical education classes or fine arts classes.

Class size limitations generally apply throughout the school year, with the exceptions noted below:

• Any twelve-week period selected by the district with a significant percentage of migratory children (25.112(1)), or
• The last twelve weeks of any school year for all other districts

In considering whether to grant an exception, the commissioner must find that the class size limit creates an undue hardship on the district.  The commissioner will consider such things as unanticipated enrollment growth, lack of facilities, lack of teachers, or financial hardships.  

Please note that an exception granted expires at the end of the school year.
