I talked with my Dad who is a fire chief and fire marshal and he said that the number of allowable students is determined by the total square footage of the room. Each student is given 20 sq. ft. so multiply the length by the width of your room and divide that by 20. This will give you the total number of students allowed in your room by law. If your room is 10ft by 20ft then you multiply 10 x 20 = 200 sq. ft. Divide 200 by 20 and you get 10. 10 is the total number of students allowed by law. There are exceptions to this rule so I would recommend that you contact your local fire department and talk to the fire chief or fire marshal. I am sure they would be happy to come out to your room and take a look or talk to you about any concerns or questions you may have. I hope this helps and let me know if you have any more questions that I may be able to answer.
