What our province needs right now is a science-based and fulsome plan to make schools safer. Instead, we've received confusing messaging and late-night announcements coupled with dangerous measures like stopping the reporting of cases in schools and daycares.¹,²

Everyone wants students to return to in-person learning — in a sustainable and safe way. A huge surge of public outrage now could force Premier Ford and Education Minister Lecce to deliver a real plan that prioritizes the health and safety of students and staff. This means:  

• Safer Classrooms: N95 masks available, better ventilation and HEPA filters in shared spaces, widespread vaccination, 10 legislated paid sick days
• Protections for Staff: prioritized access to vaccine booster, plan for staff sickness
• Better reporting: available rapid antigen testing, the monitoring and reporting of cases in school

Sign this petition now calling on Premier Ford and Minister Lecce to create an in-person learning plan that prioritizes the health and safety of students and school staff.
