High school students in Ottawa's largest school board will attend classes remotely for an additional week, according to an announcement Thursday afternoon. The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) said it has decided to to extend remote learning until Friday, Jan. 29, so that secondary students can finish the current quadmester in their current setting. Under the province's current plan, OCDSB high schools were scheduled to resume in-person learning on Jan. 25. The province may choose to extend the Jan. 25 date regardless, but the board said no decision would be made until next Wednesday and that "secondary students and staff can't wait until then." Elementary students are still slated to return to class Jan. 25, the OCDSB said.
