Depending on the class of occupancy determined by your state and occupancy use there may be assistance locally with this matter. I am a code enforcment officer and there are limitations when it comes to occupancy, eg. the number of people at one time that can occupy a space based on criteria in the code. Differs from state to state.

Criteria are:
occupancy class
room size-sq footage
stationary or moveable desks and chairs
hazards

You need to contact your local code enforcement official. They are the authority having jurisdiction and can cite and close a facility. I am sure your goal is purely the safety of the students and others including yourself. The codes offices are there to help and its free. Taxpyer money.
