It seems Bill 22 legislation to keep class sizes under 30 students is working in 91原创.
Assistant superintendent Claire Guy provided a 鈥済ood news report鈥� to the board of education on class sizes this year at the Tuesday night meeting.
鈥淚n all of 91原创, we only had five classes over 30 students this year,鈥� said Guy. 鈥淲e had 13 last year, so thank you to the principals for their hard work to organize classrooms.鈥�
As part of the province鈥檚 Bill 22 legislation, teachers are compensated financially for classes that have more than 30 students.
Last year, the district paid out $6,700 to teachers. This year, it will only be $3,000, said Guy.
鈥淣umbers in classrooms matter, so my thanks to all who worked hard on this,鈥� said school board chair Wendy Johnson.
Johnson is a former 91原创 principal.
