Teachers and concerned parents gathered outside of Province House on Monday to raise concerns with the government’s plan for starting school in September.
Education Minister Zach Churchill unveiled the Return to Class guidelines earlier this month which protesters feel was missing key information.
The current policy for masks in schools will see students wear them while on there way to school but not in the classroom.
Students in grade 10 and above will be required to wear masks when physical distancing is not possible.
The concerns around recess and lunch stem from the fact that the plan did not lay out an explicit framework for how they will be supervised.
We reached out to Minister Churchill’s office for comment but did not hear back by the time of publication.
The province appears to be going ahead with the plan laid out in late July, which would see students return to classrooms on September 8th.
