Grieve it!!!
My mod/severe classes run anywhere from 20-28. I’m pretty sure it should not be more than 10. No one cares unless it inconveniences them.
How do you have 28 kids in a severe class? Between toileting, feeding and intense behavior, something would get skipped and someone, likely staff, would get injured.
UNION issue!
In the past this has happened to me. My school defended it because attendance in our district is poor so as long as there were not more than the allowed number literally in the class they were in compliance. I asked what about the days I am over and they told me to let them know and they would remove a student for that class period. 🤦🏻♀️I was not going to do that. I teach departmentalized classes. How do I decide who doesn’t get to learn that day?
All too common...
Our self-contained classes can have 15 without an aide. Resource classes can have up to 8 per group without an aide. That's in our state.....

Please call your union. Our union would want to know and, periodically seeks us out to discuss our concerns (past 2yrs).
Good luck!
Sheesh, sorry to hear this! You should explain it to your manager!
