State regulations are updated quarterly; we currently have two versions available. Below is a comparison between our most recent version and the prior quarterly release. More comparison features will be added as we have more versions to compare.
(a) Spaces currently used as educational space , but not designed as such, shall not be included in determining the educational capacity of a school building . Space in temporary or relocatable facilities shall not be included in determining the educational capacity of a school building .
(b) The educational capacity of a school building shall be based upon the physical dimensions of the educational spaces and the space allowances in Ed 321.10(g)-(i). Educational capacity shall not be reduced by applying a limit to the number of students in a class below the maximum class size found in Ed 306.17 even though local policy may establish lower maximum class sizes.
(c) The definition of educational capacity in Ed 321.02(e) and the provisions of Ed 321.08 shall not preclude districts from establishing local policies concerning the maximum number of students in a particular class provided, however, that such policies shall not be taken into account when determining the educational capacity of a school building .
