Article contentAs a mother of three daughters, I understand that some parents are anxious about sending their children back to school. This school year will be unlike any we have ever seen, but working together we can all play a part to keep our children, teachers and education workers safe and ensure our students continue to thrive and be inspired to learn during these extraordinary times. Over the past several months, our government has worked hand-in-hand with some of Ontario’s top medical officials, school boards and educators to develop a comprehensive back-to-school plan. We invested significantly to support the plan by implementing physical distancing measures, providing personal protective equipment for every teacher, adopting enhanced cleaning protocols in schools and hiring more teachers, nurses and custodians. Our focus has always been on the safety and well-being of the kids, as well as the teachers, bus drivers and other staff in the schools.
