"The class cap was brought in because the provincial average method is simply not working. We have class sizes that are already too large, student learning is being impacted and the TDSB made an individual decision to limit that because they wanted to do everything they can to insulate kids from these learning cuts,"
"Students, come September, will see ultra-large class sizes in schools across our city,"
"The supervisor's decision confirms that the board will continue to operate within provincial regulation"
A provincially appointed supervisor lifted the Toronto District School Board's class-size cap for grades 4 to 8 that trustees had set at a maximum of 32 students for 2025–2026. Ontario regulation requires boards to ensure the average class size across grades 4 to 8 does not exceed 24.5 students, but imposes no per-class maximum. Parents, teachers and elected representatives warned that larger classes reduce individual attention, increase disorder and bullying, and harm learning outcomes in math, reading and writing. The TDSB said the supervisor's reversal aligns the board with others in the province and maintains operation within provincial regulation.
