If a district or school is completely out of space for additional classrooms but still wants to implement class size reduction using Option One, is there any flexibility?
Yes. Education Code Section 52122.6 allows districts with a minimum of 40 percent of enrollment in a MTYRE program to request a waiver of certain CSR provisions for schools with 200+ students per acre. This waiver, if approved by the State Board of Education, will allow eligible schools flexibility in calculating the average of 200 students per classroom. Districts must prepare a plan that identifies how the district will provide the facilities necessary to no longer need the waiver. In order to request this waiver, districts must submit the required plan at the same time as their operations application. The application for requesting this waiver is available on the CDE Web site. For more information on this waiver, contact Fred Yeager at 916-372-7148 or by e-mail at fyeager@cde.ca.gov.
