On the return to school: Premier Doug Ford says he's hearing from parents who want their kids in class 5 days a week for the same hours.

On education @fordnation says "I'm talking to school trustees, I'm talking to parents and I would say 90% of the people I talk to are telling me they want their kids in there 5 days a week w/ heightened protocols & procedures" #ONpoli #Onted #COVID19

During his daily news conference Premier @fordnation says "We do have a plan to open schools"

By my count…there are actually 3 sets of partial plans and a lot of uncertainty for parents. #Onted #Onpoli

There is another scheduled announcement re: education scheduled for later. Does anyone have any idea what’s going on in Ontario?

Update: New tweet from Kristen Rushowy below.

Only problem with this is that boards are told that their plans must be in by August 4th.
