‘It was a decision made by government’: Alberta Teachers Association responds to provinces decision to delay students and teachers return from winter break

The Alberta Teachers Association is speaking out following the province’s decision to delay the start of in person classes for students and teachers coming back from the winter break. ATA President Jason Schilling says they were not spoken to before the decision was made. With the return of students expected on January 10th, proper health protocols will also be in effect such as rapid testing. Schilling says they still need to have more conversations with the province about enhancing some of the protocols already in place.
