The 26 page document outlines what kids can expect when they return to in person learning in Ontario this Fall.
ONTARIO - The Province has released the much anticipated back to school plan for September.
Elementary and Secondary school students will return to in person learning in the Fall. Classes will be 5 days a week and students will still expected to wear masks indoors. Students will not need to be masked outdoors.
The plan does not call for smaller class sizes and teachers, students and staff will not be forced to get vaccinated. Students will still need to be screened before school and some schools may have screening on site. Anyone with symptoms will be told to stay home.
Clubs, activities, sport teams, bands (without wind instruments) and extra-curriculars are permitted. Cohorts may interact outdoors with physical distancing encouraged, and indoors with masking and appropriate physical distancing.
School boards are expected to optimize air quality in classrooms with improved ventilation. Each school board is expected to do the following before the start of the school year:
- Have all ventilation systems inspected and in good working order prior to the start of the school year.
- Use the highest-grade filters possible, preferably MERV 13 filters.
- Undertake frequent filter changes through the school year
- Operate ventilation systems 2 hours or more before and after school occupancy.
- Calibrate HVAC systems for maximum air fow and increased fresh air intake.
