The Peel District School Board has issued layoff notices to nearly 200 secondary school teachers in the wake of the provincial government’s decision to increase some class sizes.
Education Minister Lisa Thompson announced last month that the average class size in Grades 9 through 12 will increase from 22 students to 28 students while average class sizes in Grades 4 through 8 will go from 23 students to 24 students.
So far, 176 elementary and 193 secondary teachers with the Peel District School Board have been informed that they will no longer have permanent positions after Aug. 31.
