Toronto teachers’ union files grievance as influx of Ukrainian children fleeing war boosts class sizes beyond caps

Toronto’s Catholic elementary teachers’ union has launched a grievance against the school board — and is seeking a $25,000 payout — after a sudden influx of Ukrainian children from the war-torn country last spring boosted class sizes beyond their caps, the Star has learned.

A copy of the grievance says class sizes ended up higher than the limit set out in the collective agreement — at least two senior elementary classes had about 40 students, or nine students over the limit — along with other contract violations.

Greedy much?
