The TDSB’s preliminary estimates show a striking gap between the financial toll COVID-19 has taken on school boards, and the amount of funding released by the provinces for education
in the fall. The board is one of hundreds across the country preparing for school reopening in the midst of a global pandemic.The TDSB has also outlined plans for full-time in-person instruction that would see class sizes depend on what grade a student is in. This scenario would cost them anywhere between $20-million and $190-million in additional staffing.
L’Assemblée de la francophonie de l’Ontario denounced talks about French programs in a tweet Wednesday night, calling it “totally unacceptable.” The TDSB is also planning for a hybrid learning model in all of its schools, which would see cohorts of 15 students alternate between in-person and remote learning during school days. Under any model that involves remote learning, Ms. Jackson said “there is no guarantee that the teacher that’s assigned to teach them fully remotely would be a teacher on staff at that school.”
Jennifer Hargreaves, a Toronto-based entrepreneur and mother of two children aged 5 and 7, says she reduced her working hours in the final months of the 2019-20 school year to help balance the demands of educating and caring for her children.
