After switching to remote learning on December 14th, both Regina Public and Catholic School divisions return to in-class learning on Monday.
Director of Education for the Regina Catholic School Division , Domenic Scuglia said while COVID-19 case numbers are not as low as they hoped they would be, they know transmission has been low inside schools.
“Listening to Dr. Shahab, yes the case numbers are higher than we wanted them to be, but one of the most important pieces around our decision making process has been the information that we’ve received from the Saskatchewan Heath Authority,” Scuglia said. “And that is that the safest place for our students and staff is inside our schools,” he continued.
