Rather than invest in safer schools and more testing, Mr. Ford is throwing in the towel and leaving kids, families and educators on their own.

I’m urging him to reverse his decision to restrict testing, and instead ramp up protections against COVID—especially in schools. #ONpoli

As a teacher, I am reading all of the opinions from people who feel passionately that schools must stay open because they need to go to work. I get that people have a real problem that needs to be addressed but I’m a bit stunned at the lack of any care for safety of educators.

2 days… really?? Enough said.

[Jerry DeQuetteville @jdeq]

Hmmm - the government has bought themselves two days. Hopefully they are able to get HEPA filters for all classes, N95s for all staff, boosters, and a huge supply of RATs in every school. Of course we know they will do nothing . . . again.

Hey @Sflecce, curious what you’ll be able to do to make schools safer in 2 days that you haven’t been able to do in TWO YEARS???

Ontarians: You are now on your own.

Premier Ford and Dr. Moore have abandoned you.

[Felipe Pareja @FAPareja]

Beginning to hear from a few individual members who are considering invoking their individual right to refuse work they believe to be unsafe if an N95 mask isn’t waiting for them upon their arrival in the workplace on Monday morning. #ETFO #onted #onlab

To give you some perspective- there are very roughly 1800 classes of students in Ottawa. In Elementary. In our Board. Which is one of 4 Boards. Which doesn’t incl. secondary. Ottawa is about 10% of the Province. Keep that in mind when you hear of 3000 Hepa Units being deployed.

My favourite part of a bargaining day - quiet time before anyone else arrives. An opportunity to gather thoughts before we head to the table. This room will be buzzing with discussion and work later this morning. #ETFOstrong

[marcg.cote @cote_marcg]

So true!!

[marcg.cote @cote_marcg]

ETFO says the Ford government must get back to the bargaining table and negotiate a deal that is good for students, educators and public education.
