The directors of education for two Thunder Bay school boards had both been hoping students were going to be able to return to the classroom this month.
Instead, students will spend the rest of the academic year learning online after Premier Doug Ford on Wednesday announced that virtual learning will continue across the province through the end of June.
Lakehead District School Board Director of Education Ian MacRae said he wasn t totally surprised, but was still disappointed by the decision, and had wanted at least a regional reopening.
