WINDSOR, ONT. The Greater Essex County District School Board is planning for a return to in-person learning for all students in September, but a remote option will also be offered. GECDSB says in-person learning is considered the best learning model for students – academically, emotionally and physically. “We are hopeful, as solutions to the COVID-19 pandemic continue to develop and vaccinations become more available, that we will be able to welcome them back in school for the upcoming school year,” said a GECDSB news release. An opportunity will be offered to students and families to opt-out of in-person learning. They will be able to confirm a preference for remote learning between July 28 and August 6, 2021.
