Class sizes in Calgary catholic schools will be getting bigger this fall.
It’s because the board is being forced to cut teaching positions to try to balance its books.
The student-teacher ratio is expected to climb in September to 16.6 kids for every instructor.
That’s up about half-a-kid per teacher.
The Catholic district is facing a 5 million dollar deficit next school year, partly because the province will NOT be covering an almost 3 percent pay rise for teachers.
