Nova Scotia releases plan for students to return to school in September
“. . .
‘Parents want to be able to send their children back to school safely. Today’s announcement, while late, is welcome. I’m glad that our recommendations around prioritizing students with diverse abilities and the need for technology were adopted,’ said NDP Education spokesperson Claudia Chender.
‘But parents are also worried about what will happen if we move to a blended or at-home model, what before- and after-school care will look like, and what additional staff and resources will be in place to ensure the plan can be a success.’
The NDP said it has called for the creation of an economic recovery task force to plan all aspects of the next phase of response to COVID-19. This would mean ‘reopening plans would consider all aspects of what returning to work and school means for the people of Nova Scotia.’
