School reopening update leaves opposition dissatisfied

Claudia Chender, NDP education critic, echoed those sentiments saying what's missing from the government's reopening plan is a "steady flow of communication," including details on what could trigger a school shutdown and plans to ensure easy access to COVID testing in schools.
‘We are a few weeks away from 120,000 children going back into close quarters with each other,’ said Chender. ‘While I think it’s important that schools restart, this is the biggest reopening we’ve had since March, much bigger than the reopening of the commercial sector here in Nova Scotia.’
Chender said in the lead up to the reopening of the economy, government was holding regular weekly public briefings and that school staff, students, and parents should be entitled to the same.“
