A recent news release from the Manitoba, Canada government caught our eye. It said "Classroom learning to Resume in September for All Manitoba K-12 Students".
According to Education Minister Kelvin Goertzen, the province issued guidelines, called "Welcoming Our Students Back: Restoring Safe Schools" developed in collaboration with the province’s kindergarten to Grade 12 COVID-19 response planning team, as well as with school divisions and public health officials.
In a joint statement, the Manitoba School Boards Association, the Manitoba Teachers' Society, Manitoba Federation of Independent Schools, Manitoba Association of School Business Officials, and the Manitoba Association of School Superintendents said, “We believe that collaborative planning is in the best interests of students, parents, and school staff. The goal is to have as many students as possible learning in classrooms this fall and throughout the coming school year. Maintaining a strong focus on the health, safety, and well-being of students, staff, families, and communities, we all agree the emphasis needs to be on getting students the in-person teaching and learning they need while making sure that safety is the top priority for everyone.â€
