Description

The Nova Scotia Teacher's Union was pleased to see the province delay the reopening of schools for another week. And there's some optimism that ventilation issues will also be addressed. But today, the New Democrats are urging the province to act on another request. That is, to prioritize teachers and staff for boosters ahead of the start up of in-class learning. Suzy Hansen is a former school board representative and is currently the NDP MLA for Halifax-Needham. She is also the opposition spokesperson for education. And she explains why that, and other ways schools can be made safer for students. She is recovering from COVID19 and that did affect her ability to speak at times during the conversation.
