The Newfoundland and Labrador Teachers Association (NLTA) says further measures are needed for a safe return to school in September.
Union President, Dean Ingram says while the funding provided by the Federal Government, and recent announcements are “positive steps” more needs to be done.
Ingram says messaging needs to be more consistent with the public health mantra of “People, space, time and place.”
Where physical distancing is not possible, public health advises that masks need to be worn, but he questions why that’s not the case in the classroom.
