The province of Ontario has done an excellent job of controlling the COVID 19 pandemic.  Their return to school plan puts the progress made by the people of this province at risk by not creating a system that allows for physical distancing.   All evidence points to the need for lower class sizes, well ventilated learning spaces, an outdoor learning curriculum and more teachers to accommodate COVID 19 public health restrictions that have been proven effective.   Without the ability to adhere to Ontario's public health guidelines, we believe the students of this province, their teachers, school staff, their parents and relatives will be at risk of contracting COVID 19, that transmission rates of the virus will surge  and that lives will be lost.  The health and well being of our students is at risk.  We ask that the provincial government create a new return to school plan that allows for proper physical distancing and adherence to well learned COVID 19 guidelines for the prevention of transmission of COVID 19 in our schools and communities.
