The new health measures announced by the province on Friday leaves the Saskatchewan Teachers Federation wanting more.

“All communities and all school populations are at risk,” Saskatchewan Teachers Federation Patrick Maze said. “These measures leave staff and students in elementary schools and schools with student populations less than 600 vulnerable and exposed. All staff and students require a safe school environment.”

Maze is calling for all staff and students to be wearing masks and for all school divisions to move to Level 3 of the back-to-school plan.

He adds the STF stands by its position that masks be made mandatory province-wide and that school divisions suspend extracurricular activities, restrict community-based activities in schools and limit the number of schools each staff member is assigned to.
