The Toronto and District School Board has approved a plan that it hopes will keep class sizes small enough to avoid COVID-19 outbreaks among younger children in high-risk neighborhoods when school resumes in September. Under the plan, kindergarten class sizes will be capped at 15 students in schools located in so-called COVID-19 “hotspots” in the City while it will be 26 students in what the board calls non-impacted schools. For Grades 1 to 3, class sizes will be capped at 20 across the city while for Grades 4 to 8, it will be capped at 20 students in hotspot areas and 27 everywhere else. City News
