	SECTION 2D.05.  Sections 25.112 (a) and (d), Education Code,

	(a) Except as otherwise authorized by this section, a school 
district may not enroll more than 18 students in a prekindergarten 
class or 22 students in a kindergarten, first, second, third, or 
fourth grade class.  A limit imposed by this subsection [That 
limitation] does not apply during:

the district, in the case of a district whose average daily 
attendance is adjusted under 42.005(c); or

any other district.
	(d)  On application of a school district, the commissioner 
may except the district from a [the] limit imposed by [in] 
Subsection (a) if the commissioner finds the limit works an undue 
hardship on the district.  An exception expires at the end of the 
semester for which it is granted, and the commissioner may not grant

notice must be in conspicuous bold or underlined print and:
		(1)  specify the class for which an exception from a
[the] limit imposed by Section 25.112(a) was granted;
		(2)  state the number of children in the class for which 
the exception was granted; and
		(3)  be included in a regular mailing or other
