New Braunfels ISD trustees are scheduled to consider submitting class-size exception requests for three elementary grade groups on Oct. 19.
The proposed submission covers second and fourth grade at Veramendi Elementary and fourth grade at Lamar Elementary, according to the board letter accompanying the meeting agenda.
The district lists enrollment above its 88-seat allocation in Veramendi second grade, Veramendi fourth grade and Lamar fourth grade. For families in those grade groups, the proposal concerns how the district handles enrollment beyond the seats it allotted across four teachers in each group.
Where enrollment exceeds the allocation
The district’s board letter says Texas Education Code §25.112 sets a 22-student class-size limit for prekindergarten through fourth grade. Its request identifies four teachers and 88 allotted seats in each of the three grade groups. The district lists 90 second-graders at Veramendi and 94 fourth-graders at each of Veramendi and Lamar, with 88 allotted seats for each group.
