The Ontario government intends for schools to be open for in-person learning following the April break, Ontario Minister of Education Stephen Lecce confirmed in a letter issued to the province’s parents Sunday afternoon. All publicly funded and private elementary and secondary schools will be open for in-person learning despite the province’s stay-at-home order, except in regions that have directed schools to move to remote learning, Lecce wrote. Despite in-person classes being omitted from the stay-at-home order, Toronto and Peel regions have moved students to remote learning in the face of growing COVID-19 cases. School boards are now working to determine whether they will return to in-person learning after spring break. Parents with students at Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board can expect to know if schools will move to remote learning Thursday evening.
