[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sorry that I got 19 verses 15 wrong if that's the case. It says in the budget document that title one schools can have a cap of less than 21 students depending on their FARM rate and there are definitely schools with way less than that. I was reading there are classes with even 14 students. How they got there, I don't know[/quote]

I will explain how they got there.

A school has a cap of (say) 19 students in each 1st grade class.

So (let's say) the total number of 1st grade students for that school is 46 students.

The principal takes 46 students and spreads them out across 1st grade classes.  19 can go in classroom #1.  19 can go in classroom #2.

But that leaves 46 - (2 * 19) = 8 students without a classroom.

So the principal does not want 8 students in a class.  (S)he alters the assignments so there are 15 students in classroom #1, 15 students in classroom #2, and 16 students in classroom #3. (15 + 15 +16 = 46)

Larla in classroom #1 moves out of the district in November, bringing the classroom #1 size to 15 - 1 = 14.
