The proposal to establish the class was made at the last board meeting on October 27 by the school's principal, Margaret Medve on the basis of ten inquiries by parents to have the children registered who will have their birthdays between January 1, 1987 and July 1 and would be eligible to be admitted to school on the first day of school in the following September acccording to Ministry of Education regulations.
