Robertson said a letter was sent to parents earlier in the day informing them of the shift to online learning and that the EPSB also communicated the decision via a website parents use.
He added that while in-person learning is being suspended, schools will remain open so that students who don’t have the equipment to move to online learning can acquire it or if they have questions.When asked why more notice was not given, Robertson said the speed at which the situation is evolving is getting more intense by the day.“We thought that waiting until Monday was going to be really challenging given our staff shortages,” he said.The EPSB also announced Tuesday that in-person learning for students of all grades at Kenilworth School was shifting to.
