From The Dallas Morning News: A law that has held most Texas elementary school classes to no more than 22 students is on the endangered list as lawmakers look for solutions to the state's massive budget deficit. Some legislative leaders say easing the requirement will save hundreds of millions of dollars and give districts more flexibility. Teacher groups vow to fight to any change, contending it will reverse academic gains in elementary schools and force the elimination of up to 12,000 teaching jobs.
