Good move from the #bcpoli government as they create a #bced steering committee and working groups to work throughout the summer to prepare for September startup. The BCTF and teachers will be well represented on the committee and working groups. Thread: https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2020EDUC0034-001170

The BCTF advocated for this #bced #bcpoli committee and the working groups. Here is reaction from BCTF President Teri Mooring:

“Our teachers and support staff in B.C. have worked incredibly hard throughout this health emergency to support our students and each other.

"From emergency remote learning to the staged reopening, #bced school staff have been creative, caring and committed. They have also been concerned about their safety and the well-being of their students. It has been a difficult time for everyone.

"That’s why it’s good to see the #bced Ministry of Education create this steering committee and working groups to ensure we collaboratively identify all of the issues and plan for solutions before September.

"This will go a long way to help teachers, support staff, students and their families feel more comfortable about school resuming in the fall.”
