Ontario Education Minister Stephen Lecce said he is going to “respect the choices of parents” when it comes to masking in schools, even as some boards independently vote in favour of mandates.
The new Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB) trustees came short of imposing a mask mandate in their first meeting on Monday evening but they passed a motion to ask students and staff to mask in all public school board buildings.
More students in the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB) are failing the standardized tests than in previous years, according to new Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) results but those results are "meaningless," a teacher's union rep. says.
Hamilton’s public school board says it plans to keep schools open “as long as possible” amid the CUPE strike but one of its head caretakers says it will be a struggle to keep them open much longer without custodians and maintenance workers.
The Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB) appointed Sheryl Robinson Petrazzini as its first female director of education. Robinson Petrazzini will start her new job on August 17, according to a news release.
