Catholic school teachers will get some assistance in the delivery of mathematics to their students.
The Northwest Catholic District School Board has received $100-thousand dollars from the province to hire a mathematics facilitator and another $35-thousand for travel and training purposes.
Education Director Mary-Catherine Kelly says the facilitator will lead to improved student learning.
"We currently have excellent math scores on EQAO," says Kelly, "but this is an opportunity to continue to build capacity of teachers and continue to grow and develop in the area of mathematics."
Kelly expects the position to be filled within the next week or so.
