School districts in New Brunswick are poised to open elementary, middle and secondary schools as early as next week to allow students and families to collect personal belongings left behind as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The move comes just weeks after teachers and education staff were allowed similar access to facilities. Education minister Dominic Cardy has said schools in New Brunswick will remain closed through the end of the 2019-2020 school year, regardless of the ongoing COVID-19 situation.
In a letter to parents in Anglophone School District – South, dated April 29, superintendent Zoe Watson said the collection process in that district could begin Monday.
