We would like to see some accountability structures in place.
The Canadian Teachers' Federation is proposing a temporary ad hoc intergovernmental task force to take a look at sustainable operations of schools and how the money is being spent. We don't have any idea in B.C. about how school districts chose to spend that money. There needs to be some accounting of where it's gone, and that certainly hasn't been forthcoming yet. We think there is a need to ensure that the money is going to the purpose it was intended to go to, and that is keeping schools and classrooms safe.
Again, we're struggling with some of the preventative measures in B.C., including putting up barriers for teachers who have to teach hundreds of students every single week, and for teachers who have underlying health conditions.
There are still a number of health measures that should be in place but are not, as well as the additional safety measures that we think should be in place in schools.
