British Columbia school officials order windows screwed shut to stop teachers from ventilating classes amid raging pandemic
Officials at Godson Elementary School in Abbotsford, British Columbia ordered classroom windows at the school bolted shut in late January. Teachers at Godson had been opening the windows to increase air circulation out of fear that the school’s existing ventilation systems were not providing an adequate fresh air supply to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission.
The school sent contractors into the building who, according to the school, found “safety issues” with the windows and proceeded to seal them. Some windows were screwed shut, while others were fitted with wooden blocks to prevent them from opening more than a few inches.
