Enrolment's higher than expected at the local English Catholic school board.
The Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board says it has seen a "substantial increase in enrolment", with about 180 more students than projected in June - 115 more elementary students, for a total of 3738, and 65 more secondary students, for a total of 770 - prompting the board to create 13.2 new full-time equivalent teaching positions - on top of 13 added last school year - while developing new infrastructure to build seven new classrooms.
