WINGHAM, ONT. If remote learning becomes mandatory after the Christmas break, the Huron-Perth Catholic District School Board will be ready. In total, we have deployed 5,300 Chromebooks across our district, says Superintendent of Education Karen Tigani. That’s enough laptops for every student and educator in the entire Huron-Perth Catholic District School Board, making them one of the only school boards in the province to have a device for each child. No matter the circumstances or where people are, whether they need to work from home, or at school. We are able to continue teaching and learning, says Tigani. Currently, about 7 per cent, or 315 of Huron-Perth Catholic District School Board s 4,500 students are enrolled in the Blessed Carlo Acutis Continuing Education School.
