Pembina Trails: Manitoba School Boards Association MSBA Friday

Dianne Zuk Dept: "There could be unintended consequences" if the rules are rigid and inflexible, Pembina Trails trustee Dianne Zuk told the annual convention of the Manitoba School Boards Association MSBA Friday, according to Winnipeg Free Press. "Teachers will tell you they want 20 as a max ," warned Claudia Sarbit of Seven Oaks and the province's plan to cap class size at 20 kids for kindergarten to Grade 3 has trustees nervous. What if classes are capped at 20, and immigration brings more kids to a school throughout the year, asked Brandon's Pat Bowslaugh: "We'd have to deal with the situation where classrooms would have to be split in the middle of the year."
