As myFM reported on social media Monday night, an announcement about the return to in-person learning is coming.
This was news to the local and provincial Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario members.
President of the Avon Maitland Teachers Local, Kent Cleland says the ETFO has been working throughout the pandemic to avoid something like this.
Cleland says in his opinion in-person learning is not safe unless the safety of staff and students can be assured.
Minister Lecce is slated to speak today and make everything official, but Cleland says he wouldn’t be surprised if things changed later in the week.
Cleland says it’s disheartening and frustrating to hear about changes through the media and not by actual consultations.
