Avon Maitland School Board Meets Class Size Standards

The Avon Maitland District School Board is in compliance with provincial standards for class sizes this year.

Director of Education Ted Doherty says every board is required to report compliance with the standards every year and the standards are spelled out in three categories.

Kindergarten classes must average 26 or fewer students.
