Council Member Rita Joseph inquires about SCA's identification of districts that will not be able to reach class size compliance without adding new capacity. SCA representatives explain their approach to addressing this issue.
- Every district has some schools that are currently not in compliance with class size mandates
- SCA maintains citywide seat designations to assist schools outside the 12 identified sub-districts
- This approach allows for flexibility in addressing needs as opportunities arise in various locations

So you've said these seats in the districts have been identified as not be able to reach compliance on with class size mandate without adding new capacity.

Has SCA identified other districts that will not be able to reach compliance without new capacity?

There are schools every district has some schools that are probably not currently in compliance.

Again, just to refer back to Deputy Chancellor Erma's point, we do have we keep those seats citywide, so that if there are schools not located in one of those 12 sub districts, we still have the resources and capital funding to assist those schools if an opportunity comes up.
