Enrolment's once again higher than expected at the local English public school board.
Noting they've seen "a steady increase" in enrolment over the past several years, the Algoma District School Board says the number of students enrolled in Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8 this month is up by 272 from the director's March report - which had expected 6743, requiring 296 classes and 296 full-time equivalent teaching staff - which was already up by 119 students from last September.
Likewise, there are 103 more secondary students than the 3536 expected - more than double the amount last fall's enrolment had exceeded forecasts.
