Rob Hammond, President of the Near North Elementary Teachers Union, says local elementary teachers are looking forward to returning to the classroom next week, but still have some questions.
“I don’t think it was a surprise to many of our teachers that we’re going back. What is a surprise is that the province is still in lockdown. We don’t understand that part of it,” Hammond said.
The provincial government announced Thursday that the regional shutdown to curb the spread of COVID-19 has been extended by another two weeks for northern parts of the province.
