Parents are facing a choice as B.C. schools get set to partially reopen in June. Attendance at the part-time classes will be optional, and Vernon, B.C., families are divided about whether their kids will be heading back to school. “We are hearing everything from, ‘This is great.
I can’t wait for my kids to get back into the school, in a classroom setting,’ to, ‘We are not ready. I’m not ready to send my children back,'” said Gladys Fraser, president of Vernon’s District Parent Advisory Council.
Those students who do go back to school will find lots of changes. Most kids will only attend part-time, in-person attendance will be voluntary and only a portion of the students will be in the school at any given time.
