I’m scared for my friends who are teachers. TORONTO – Ontario’s parents and teachers have begun planning for back-to-school season now that the province has released its plan for September, with some saying they’re concerned the strategy doesn’t do enough to protect kids from the threat of The Ontario Parent Action Network says the Progressive Conservative government has “abandoned” students rather than helping them return to class safely, while the province’s four major teachers unions say the plan jeopardizes the safety of staff and students alike.The plan, announced yesterday by Premier Doug Ford and Education Minister Stephen Lecce, will see elementary students and many high schoolers return to school full-time in September.Parents can also choose to keep their kids out of class, and boards must provide options for remote learning.Kathleen Katz, whose six-year-old daughter is headed into Grade 2, says she’s particularly concerned because the government plan doesn’t reduce the size of elementary school classes.She says standard class sizes make it impossible to maintain the physical distancing protocols health officials say are essential to protect against the novel coronavirus.“There wasn’t enough information or protection for our kids,” she said. “We hear stories all the time about teachers not being able to fit enough desks into the classroom to manage the existing cohort, so how can we possibly expect students to be at a distance and to remain at that distance?”Liberal Leader Steven Del Duca agreed, pointing to a Hospital for Sick Children report released Wednesday, which recommended that the province prioritize smaller class sizes.It also recommended that elementary-aged kids be kept one metre apart from each other, and high schoolers be kept two metres apart.“Parents across Ontario have been waiting anxiously for a plan to reopen schools safely — today they got one written on the back of a napkin,” he said.The highly anticipated announcement came just six weeks before back-to-school season and a week before the province’s 72 school boards were initially asked to have their plans for the academic year submitted to the province.The province further announced Thursday that daycare centres across the province will be allowed to return to their full capacity on September 1, in time for back-to-school.The announcements also came as Ontario logged fewer than 100 new cases of COVID-19 for a second day in a row, with 89 new cases reported on Thursday.Health Minister Christine Elliott said 28 of the province’s 34 public health units are reporting five or fewer cases, with 17 reporting no new ones.She said the number of people in hospital, in intensive care and on a ventilator all went down, and the province was able to complete more than 27,600 tests the previous day.What do you think is the best way to re-open schools in your area? coronavirus cases surge to 50 ahead of long weekendGhislaine Maxwell tried to hide when FBI agents arrived to arrest her, court documents allegeCoronavirus: Ontario schools to reopen in fall with safety procedures like masks, cohortsWinnipeg city councillor should have disclosed ties to alleged drug traffickers: ethicistEllen DeGeneres’ public image suffers following staff complaintsAlberta stakeholders discuss shortfalls surrounding CERBCoronavirus: Tam says there’s been an upward trend of average daily cases in Canada Those who test negative after an initial positive test can only return once they’ve been symptom-free for 24 hours.Lecce added that teachers who are immunocompromised or feel unsafe returning to class for other reasons can focus their efforts on teaching students who are opting for remote learning.The government also announced $309 million in funding to make the plan work, including $60 million for personal protective equipment and $80 million for extra staffing.In a joint statement, the province’s four major teachers’ unions said that simply isn’t enough money to ensure a safe return to class for staff and students.“The premier promised Ontarians he ‘will spare no expense’ to keep people safe, yet he and ...
