In-class learning continues for local school divisions
MEDICINE HAT, AB – With the Calgary Board of Education and Calgary Catholic School District being granted a temporary transition to at-home learning starting on Monday, local school boards will continue classes in-person, as usual.
Medicine Hat Public School Board, Prairie Rose, and Medicine Hat Catholic Board believe the current COVID-19 situation in the city does not meet the requirements for at-home learning at this time.
Those provincial requirements include a chronic substitute teacher shortage, a significant number of students and staff in quarantine or isolation, recent requests from the board for short-term shifts for a number of their schools, and substantial COVID-19 cases in the community.
