Elm Grove to get new teacher: School board still asks for class size waivers

By Andy Sevilla

In an about face, Hays CISD will soon hire a new fourth grade teacher to help alleviate overcrowded classrooms at Elm Grove Elementary despite the administration’s resistance last week.

With the new hire, Hays CISD will request 13 classroom waivers from the state this year, as opposed to the 18 waivers that would have been required if all five fourth grade classrooms at Elm Grove remained with more than 22 students each.
