Why can oral swabs not be done instead of the nasal testing for all?

How good will the sanitation be in the schools with washing hands etc. when there is 1 main washroom for each?

If we choose the online option (or school option) can you change your mind at some point if that option is clearly not working for you? Is the board creating a system where we have timelines where we could have a different option? I’ve heard some people say in November you can switch. Is this true?

How will we manage the return to sport? Hockey will involve “bubbles” of 50 players from multiple schools. Policy is if there is a positive COVID in the hockey bubble, the bubble is shut down as per OPH guidelines. Will these children be required to self-isolate from school, even if contact was minimal to none?

What are recommendations for managing multiple bubbles/ cohorts beyond school?

If I can stay home to work, and can manage home schooling, do I have a social community responsibility to keep my child home thereby reducing the stress on the system and allowing resources, including physical space, to others who don't have this privilege?

Given each kid could have a 10 person bubble, isn’t a class of 15 really exposure to 150?

Will children (and staff) have to wear a mask ALL day? If they are 2 metres away from everyone, could it be taken off with limited risk?

What is the current rate of false positive COVID-19 tests?

Our letter mentioned they would give a space in classroom to give mask break... How beneficial is it to give kids 2 masks, one for the morning, one for the afternoon?

Will schools enforce kids staying home if they have the sniffles etc.?

Kids need physical activity to make it throughout the day. Has there been any decisions on how kids will get out their energy while staying safe and distanced, especially as we move into the colder months?
