The Newfoundland and Labrador Teachers Association (NLTA) is troubled with the English School District decision to expand access to schools for what they call non-essential activities.
More indoor school sports will be reintroduced as of next week after a gradual reintroduction of indoor activates was announced last month.
While some believe the approach is too cautious, the Teachers Association disagrees.
President Dean Ingram says their members are already under increased stress due to added duties and responsibilities arising from COVID-19.
He says it seems contradictory and counter-productive to increase non-essential access to school buildings and cohort mixing at the same time that Public Health Officials have implemented more stringent screening.
