The entire province is being elevated to the red ‘critical’ level starting Thursday, November 12 — but that won’t be changing much at Manitoba’s K-12 schools.
Mountain View School Division (MVSD) superintendent Dan Ward explains schools have been instructed to carry on with the public health measures already in place.
“We’ve been told by the province that schools do remain at level orange,” says the MVSD Superintendent.
The MVSD will be suspending extracurriculars, including athletic activities.
“We have been assured for now that schools will remain open.”
Manitoba’s top health officials explained the decision to keep schools open — saying that schools are safe and the level of transmission in the classroom has been minimal across the province.
