The Upper Canada District School Boards says staff and students will no longer have to wear the masks upon their return to school on March 21st, but can choose to do so if they wish.
A letter to parents, asks students and families to show kindness and respect the individual decisions of others.
It says, “As of March 21, UCDSB students and staff will no longer be required to wear masks while at school or on school transportation. However, some people may choose to continue to wear masks and we ask that students and families show kindness, and respect the individual decisions of others.”
The board also says those travelling outside of Canada will be required to wear a mask in public spaces, including schools, for 14 days after their return to Canada in additional to other travel requirements in place by the provincial and federal governments.
We have reached out to the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario how they’ll be handling masking in schools once the mandate is lifted.
