Lancaster High cosmo class is officially 270 feet too small

I received my copy of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation report on the Dec. 6 inspection of the Lancaster High School cosmetology program.

TDLR says the classroom is 270 square feet short of requirement, at 1,930 square feet rather than 2,200 square feet. That's a 15 percent difference, and one which district officials allegedly knew was a problem long before the state arrived.

The state sped up what was originally planned as a January visit, perhaps in part responding to a media query of 2-3 weeks ago as to whether the new class had been inspected yet and whether or not it had a space problem.
