The BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) is calling on the Fraser Health Authority to increase and improve health and safety standards in schools.
“This week, tens of thousands of public school employees and hundreds and thousands of public school students returned to school after a two-week winter break,” reads a statement from the BCTF.
The group says that while families had a chance to limit exposure to COVID-19 over the winter, now that school has resumed, “they once again face the daily risk of exposure.”
“We’re speaking out together in solidarity for those members who are working in the schools where health and safety standards are inadequate, inconsistent, or unsafe.”
