[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our elementary school told us every class had to be at least two over the cap for the grade to get an additional teacher. So for first grade, we had to get 28 across all the classes even though the limit is 26 (which makes no sense to me). [/quote]

This is correct except one class has to be three over, so you’d need one class at 29 and two at 28. [/quote]

[b]Even then, it’s an uphill battle to get the additional allocation and THEN actually find and hire a qualified teacher.[/b] Sorry, OP. Ask the teacher if they are open to parent volunteers coming in to help with small groups during the instructional blocks. [/quote]

Yup. Also, there may not be another available classroom if your school is overcapacity.[/quote]

This is true but it sounds like OP’s grade went from three classes to two, so there may be space. Ask the principal about using para’s or long-term subs to pull out kids. I think it’s better to get creative versus holding your breath for an additional teacher/classroom. [/quote]
