The Association has been receiving a high volume of contacts from members regarding returning to school in just a couple of weeks. Government’s K-12 Education Re-entry Plan, followed by school district plans for operationalizing school re-entry for staff and students within the limits of the government framework are understandably generating many questions and concerns. The NLTA has been active and persistent in its advocacy efforts to influence decision makers, raising issues and questions and proposing ideas and alternative approaches, both publicly and in meetings with EECD, Public Health, and school district officials regarding the plans for re-opening schools. While government’s K-12 Education Re-entry Plan clearly stated that employee safety is a priority and collective agreements are to be respected, your Association is providing the following guidance to all members on how to address specific areas of concern if/as they arise.
