Blountstown-Florida's school districts are scrambling to meet the new class size restrictions that went into effect this year.
Some are assigning two teachers to larger classes.
Some are hiring more teachers and others are paying their current faculty more to take-on extra classes.
If those efforts fall short, districts like Calhoun County will be penalized.

It's the third week of school in Calhoun County which has been hectic.
"This is my 32nd year in Guidance and this is the hardest it's ever been," says Guidance Counselor Sandra Waller.
Because it's a small school, Blountstown High can only offer certain courses throughout the year.
"It's very, very difficult to do all the juggling you have to do to have your 25 students in your academic classes and so forth."
Dana Ayers is one of three Blountstown High teachers being paid extra to teach all seven class periods.
She teaches Spanish as well as high school and college level French.
"It's not required to graduate from high school but any student that plans to go to a university has to have two years of a foreign language before they enter the university."
Ayers says in her case, the class size fix is working.
"I wound up with overall, fewer students in seven periods this year than I had last year in six periods because my classes were so crowded."
"They're really being team players."
At Blountstown Elementary, the principal hired two new teachers and is using co-teachers in first and fifth grades.
But they're still not meeting the state's class size requirement.
Calhoun County School Superintendent Tommy McClellan says, "you just have to bite the bullet and pay it and it's like $22 to 2700 dollars per student. You're just looking at dollars, a teacher would be between $30 to $40,000, we're working just like everybody else to try to meet those standards but it's just about impossible."

McClellan says the district will consider hiring another elementary school teacher after the Labor Day break.
