The plan focuses primarily on getting students back in the classroom for a "full school experience,” however the Progressive Conservatives say they will also “enable the option of remote learning” for parents who feel it’s the best option for their child.
“Our plan starts with a return to in-person learning, on time, and with all the experiences students need and deserve like sports, clubs and field trips. Nothing is more important,” the document reads. Few new details were released as to how the government plans to ensure in-person learning continues throughout the year, particularly if another wave of COVID-19 hits the province. Instead, the government touted their previous investments in ventilation improvements and HEPA filter units, the provision of rapid COVID-19 tests for staff and students and funding for parents to offset the costs of online learning.

Sflecce I don’t know what you guys are waiting for ? KontrolGroup has been funded for their viral detection technology to detect viruses in the air. This will help mitigate the spread. KontrolBiocloud Ontario based and funded 2million. Hepa filters are not helping.
I think this guy will be fire. He have to think about the wave that will be soon
Why that guy still works for ontario after his racist thing anywhere else people be fired for sure
Why is that the ppl who have no clue are the first to speak?
None of you are ever happy regardless of what he does. At least admit that much.
Bring back Grade 13…dumb to take it away as students are young and not prepared for Uni. Students have the option to do a Victory Lap and stay an extra year to upgrade their marks after Gr. 12 anyway.
Queue the haters
I don’t deny that students & teachers are a main component to all of this but.. What about reasonable wages for people like custodians who help make the schools run & regularly clean up more bodily fluids than parents?! $55k is squat for a family of 5 paying $3400/mth for rent
Strike = catching up. Lmao
We - Ontario - are currently IN wave 7 of the Covid_19 pandemic, Minister Sflecce there is no past tense. MaskUp people. The fordnation government will do NOTHING to protect you. CovidIsNotOver
bro it’s literally been 3 weeks into summer shut up about school oh my lord
Teachers union has no interest with kids catching up.
Pandemic What pandemic? The housing and renting market Gas and food prices ? What’s this tool talking about ?
Good, it’s over life as normal even for the under the bed crew
Right, w/1 day of bargaining before it start? That's not planning! You held back millions you were supposed to spend, and also made hug cuts, now you act like it's 'new' money. Such lies! 'Clubs, Arts, Music,these things matter.' Really, first things you cut. Hw mny kids survyd?
Gonna be hard to catch up when there is a good chance of a fall lock down again.
Again.Lecce knows that all sports, clubs, trips are done voluntarily by teachers Labour talks for contracts are about to start so he is out there setting the table to criticize teachers. We are in a 7th wave where is the plan to return to in class safely for all students, staff
I didn’t even know this was even up for debate !! Can we get some new politicians in this world!
Those who think otherwise are in denial, brainwashed, stupid or evil:
Now THIS sounds like a Sflecce plan... 'Few new details were released as to how the government plans to ensure in-person learning continues throughout the year...'
It’s the Lecce/Ford formula, announce an announcement about an announcement, and hope no one notices it’s just wind from Stephen’s face hole.
They are “Touting their previous investments in HEPA filters and Covid tests for students?” 😂😂😂 No where near every classroom has a filter, and handing out tests with no mask mandates is like handing out pregnancy tests but no condoms. 🙄 fordnation Sflecce
High schooling is worthless, its just Govt Mind Control, just pick up a trade skill, do an apprenticeship and you will be wildly successful
Are you going to read, analyze and report on what is not actually a plan or continue to parrot new releases.
And once again Lecce forgets that all extra curricular activities are purely volunteer work done by staff.
We are going to help catch-up students but continue to cut education and not cap class sizes…..Educators are still waiting for the promises he made over 3 years ago…..
. . From Governments overreaction to pandemic
Lecce knows nothing about education and is just a puppet. Rooms shouldn’t be packed with 25-30 kids, how TF is a teacher supposed to equally help every child per subject/ lesson with the time given per day? Broken system
Only a year late... my son who was at the end of grade 9 is going into grade 12. How do you catch that up?
why do we need more schools? why can't they just properly fund the ones we already have? 🤨
Good! Now take on the corrupt unions who are trying to disrupt our education! Let’s return to normal!
So essentially, the job we have been doing for years. GAWD YOU ARE A JOKE LECCE!!
