Reinforce Student Safety in Ontario Schools!


Reinforce Student Safety in Ontario Schools!
The Issue
We Call Upon the Provincial Government To Implement the Following Measures:
1. Continue collecting and reporting on COVID-19 data in all schools
- Waiting until 30% absenteeism puts students, staff, and families at risk. We have a right to know.
- By not providing families will all the information available, they cannot make an informed decision.
2. Provide funding and supplies of N95 or KN95 masks to all students
- With the new variant, this mask upgrade is needed for a safe return.
N95/KN95 masks provide the best protection against Covid-19 - Many of the already offered masks are an improper match for students
3. Support a “Test to Return” strategy following COVID-19 illness and exposure
- Continued access to PCR testing for schools is also necessary.
4. Fund proper emergency virtual schools
- Currently, the only virtual learning option is the live streaming of in-person classrooms. Students deserve an equal and fair remote learning option.
5. Complete the implementation of proper air filtration systems in all Ontario classrooms
- When all classrooms have appropriate HEPA filters, all staff and students will be safer at school, thus preventing more lockdowns & outbreaks.
- Progress on this has already been made & it is imperative for staff & student safety that this progress is completed.
When signing the petition, please specify (if possible) if you are a student, teacher, parent, or a "supporter" in general. Please specify your school board if possible as well!
