[CASL-L] future plans for re-opening

[Barlow, Chris]

I just had a Zoom meeting this morning and as expected this was brought up.
A lot has to do with the age of the schools and how crowded they would be
even with split sessions.
Speaking of which, how would that affect teacher's (and everyone else's)
contracts?
How many hours would everyone be expected to put in?
Then there is the issue of bussing, which raises a whole other issue.
Here are a couple of other articles on the topic:
