Premier Horgan and Minister Fleming:
Educators want to be back in the classroom with their students — but they want to do so safely, with significantly smaller class sizes and mandatory masks to reduce the risk of a COVID-19 outbreak.
Create a plan that prioritizes the health and safety of students and education workers.
