This means no strike tomorrow by #cupe school support staff. Schools will open as usual

Report cards are out. The Ford government says it has a plan to help students catch up. Is turning to the private sector a solution — or part of the problem? @Izzy74 thestar.com/news/gta/2022/… via @torontostar

“I have put out a massive olive branch,” to CUPE, Ford says #onted

On Saturday’s @TorontoStar A1: Will Ontario students have a normal school year? @Izzy74 @Megan_Ogilvie @KenyonWallace @krushowy on what awaits kids, parents and teachers this fall. 📸 by Andrew Francis Wallace /1

CALLOUT: Looking to speak with Toronto parents of elementary and/or secondary school children who have enrolled for virtual learning in Sept 22. If you’re interested in speaking with me for a @TorontoStar story please DM me or email iteotonio@thestar.ca

Did you graduate university in '20, '21 or are graduating this year? I'm working on a piece about pandemic grads for @TorontoStar and would love to hear from you

During the meeting, director of education Mark Fisher told trustees the Thames Valley District School Board is currently facing “north of 1,000 total absences, which is approximately 10 per cent of our overall staff.” #LdnOnt trib.al/JsTjrhp

Ottawa-Carleton District School Board votes to require students and staff to wear masks at school. Eight in favour, 3 abstentions, one opposed. #ONTED

Call out: Do you currently have COVID and feel like it's everywhere right now? Dm if you'd be willing to chat for @TorontoStar

@42pt2 @TorontoStar Thanks for bringing that to our attention. We're looking into this.

@Izzy74: Apprecite your @TorontoStar article about masking in schools, but the following sentence doesn't make any sense: "Among those aged 12-17, about 90 per cent had at least one dose, while 92 per cent were fully vaccinated." If 92% are fully vaxxed, >92% must have 1 dose.

@Par2Edin @AmyFuyo Hi @Par2Edin I'd be interested in speaking with you more about this. I'm a reporter at the Toronto Star. Pls DM or email me at iteotonio@thestar.ca

@AmyFuyo I’m an elementary school teacher in Ontario. I will wear a mask rest of the school year. In my class, no one will be the only one. I do it for my students, my family and my community.

BREAKING: #HamOnt public school board has voted to defy the province and keep masking for students and staff until April 15. One trustee described it as "staring down the ministry" while another said removing masking on March 21 was "irresponsible." Watch @TheSpec for story.

🚨CALL-OUT: As Ontario inches towards removing vaccine & mask mandates, are there folks who will still choose to be cautious about social distancing & other public health measures despite where the province is headed? If so, I'd love to talk for a story. I'm at nyousif@thestar.ca
