✨ Education Regulations

For the purpose of determining the grade of a school to which one
or more side schools are attached, the main school and the side school or
schools attached thereto shall be deemed to form one school.
In ascertaining the grade of a group of part-time schools the
group of schools shall be treated as one school, and the average attendance
shall be the combined average attendance of the group.

STAFFING OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

(1.) Subject to the provisions hereinafter contained, the number
of teachers and of pupil-teachers in any school other than a district high
school, and in the primary department of a district high school, shall be the
number shown in columns 3, 4, and 6 of Schedules I and II of clause 3
hereof for the average attendance shown in column 1 of the said
schedules.

(2.) The number of teachers in the secondary department of a district
high school shall be the number shown in column 3 of Schedule III of
clause 3 hereof for the average attendance shown in column 1 of that
schedule.

(3.) On the 1st February in each year the Board shall determine the
number of teachers and of pupil-teachers aforesaid in accordance with
the yearly average attendance for the year ended 31st December immediately preceding.

If at the beginning of any quarter it appears that the attendance
in any school other than a district high school, or in the primary department
or secondary department of any district high school, has increased
so that the mean of the quarterly average attendance for the four quarters,
or the three quarters, or the two quarters, or for the quarter immediately
preceding, is, in the case of any such school or primary department, as high
as that shown in column 2, or column 3, or column 4, or column 5, respectively,
of Table A hereto, or in the case of a secondary department as high
as that shown in column 2, or column 3, or column 4, or column 5, respectively,
of Table B hereto, the Board may, in the case of any such school
or primary department, make such addition to the staff as is required to
bring the number of teachers and of pupil-teachers for that quarter up
to the number prescribed for a school having the average attendance shown
in column 6 of Table A; or, in the case of any such secondary department,
such addition to the staff as is required to bring the number of
teachers in the secondary department for that quarter up to the number
prescribed for a secondary department having the average attendance shown
in column 6 of Table B: Provided that in any special case of increasing attendance
which appears to be not equitably provided for herein the Board may,
with the precedent approval of the Minister, increase the staff of any school
or department at an earlier date than that in which an increase would
otherwise be authorized under this subclause.
