As summer winds down, tens of thousands of students in Calgary and its surrounding communities are heading back to school.
Tuesday marks the beginning of a staggered return to class for Calgary Catholic School District students."It's the excitement in the air. New beginnings, new grade for all the students. In some cases, a new school for them, so it's just an exciting time.""We're really excited for her to start learning again, for her to get into the routine, see all her friends and just really start to grow.
CCSD superintendent Bryan Szumlas says the Catholic school board is increasing its teaching staff to deal with the influx. "We had to replace about 150 teachers that retired in the spring, and then, as we go forward here into the fall, we're looking at hiring approximately … Just under 100 teachers as we go forward."
"Right now, we're going to make it work with the space that we have. Consequently, our classes may be a bit larger, but really, students don't come to us in nice little classrooms of 25.", the Catholic district will have to work on balancing out enrolment and increasing capacity in more popular communities."We do have some schools right now within Calgary Catholic, where we are controlling their enrollment and so they are redirected to other schools.
