this is a good thing? I have 25 1st graders, my partner has 26 and registration hasn't started yet.

Wow! In regards to state funding, yes this is good. kids = money. Most of our classes are smaller so class size usually isn't a concern

except we didn't rehire for a third grade posiiton (smallest class) and now the enrollment for the one class is at 32.

We are always hoping for more kids...If it weren't for open enrollment, we would have a tough time staying open.
