Hey @TVDSB - prioritizing cleaning the air would be a great step towards keeping teachers healthy enough to work. The HEPA filters in my kidsโ classes just sit there unused. Pay for filters and maintenance. Probably cheaper than supply teachers.
We have been warning this was coming for more than 3 years.
Since the COVID pandemic began in 2020, educator absences have become a major issue across the province including in the Thames Valley board, which employs 14,000 people.

@FourWinns298 My husband and I were able to walk into rexall and get the new booster (triple checked that it was the new one) today. Not high risk, they didnโt ask. (London, On) but Iโm having a hard time finding anyone with doses for ages 6-11.
@kimberlybowman Agree ๐ฏ I don't actually know the Fraser ranking for our school (I would guess it's good, but not relevant to me) but I do know that the majority of the staff know my kids by name, even teachers they haven't interacted with, and especially admin and office staff.
Travelling @VIA_Rail this morning (train 70 London-Toronto) and CO2 level haS been hovering around the 2200 mark. Iโm in @masks4allCanada CN95 but thereโs only a couple of other baggy blues here in the business class car. Glad I have my @DonateMask CO2 detector and my mini HEPA.
