I want to invite everyone to our commission's meeting. We're having one next Friday. It's a Canada-wide summit at which we're going to come up with a plan. Basically it's all hands on deck.
We're going to try to look at the students who are living in the “third bucket” and, over the summer, re-engage them, reconnect with them and revitalize them. By September, all teachers should be vaccinated. We're hoping we can have a transition informed by what they knew from the previous system, what they know from the current system and what they want moving forward.
It's a child-informed process, along with the experts in the building, but we had our chance. Let's see what the kids want now.
In September we hope there will be a place that's welcoming. It could be as easy as having a welcomer at the door to say, “we want you back.” We want it to be that granular.
