HALIFAX With a number of schools in the Halifax Regional Municipality shut down because of COVID, many parents are left scrambling. To say it s an inconvenience is a bit of an understatement, said father of two Logan Delaney. My personal situation it s a matter of picking whether it s my wife or I that stay home and how do you navigate that with your employer? Two of Vanessa Budrow’s three children are impacted by the school closures. I m a single mom of three and I m self-employed, she said. Now that there s no school, thankfully I have my mother-in-law down here. She came here right before the borders closed, so she was able to get down here just in time and now she s here taking care of the kids. Otherwise, I am not sure what I would do.
Families will receive more information from their schools or regional centre for education today. All other public schools and daycares in the province will continue with in-school learning at this time. However, masks will be mandatory for all students effective April 23. As well, all school gyms across Nova Scotia will be closed for community use until at least May 20. “When possible, children need to be in school for their education, social and emotional development and mental health,” said Strang during Thursday’s update. “We have done an amazing job of keeping children and youth in school all year and there are not many jurisdictions in Canada that can say that.”
