Thanks for the information.  I have a phone call scheduled with the Principal today.  I've worked with her before and she is completely reasonable and approachable.  I guess I just want to know what it going on and how they are going to address it.
I did a bit of research and the State Rated Capacity for Kindergarten is 22 but that value is only used to determine if a school is at capacity, it's not a maximum number of kids per class (from what I can parse out from the Department of Ed site).  
Technically, our school is not at capacity because a lot of kids get placed in magnet schools before the reach the higher grades, so those are under enrolled.     I think that you are right about the late enrollment issue.  The first day of school there were only 25 kids on the official roster and the other names were penciled in at the bottom.  My issue is that for the last 3 years enrollment in K has been about the same but this year they have one less teacher.  I'm curious to hear what the rational is.  
I am going to ask her if moving one of the 2nd or 3rd grade teachers to K is an option.  It looks like there are around 20-22 kids per class there so taking away one of the teachers would make those classes close to 28...which I'm sure won't be too popular with those parents.  
I'm a big proponent of public schools and am willing to deal with the system....I just was hoping I wouldn't have to do it so soon.
