TVDSB working on next steps after trustees vote to re-enact masking requirement

a growing number of staff absences at TVDSB and recent guidance from Public Health Ontario that suggests reimplementing a mask mandate may help the province in protecting itself from the sixth wave of COVID-19. Trustees pass indoor masking requirement for Thames Valley District School Board Under the now-approved motion, staff, students and visitors must all wear a mask while inside TVDSB buildings “until such time as Public Health Ontario updates this guidance or the Local Public Health Units in TVDSB explicitly advise otherwise.”“Students will not be required to submit medical documentation for exemptions,” the motion added.In an email to Global News on Wednesday morning, a spokesperson for TVDSB said administration is meeting “to discuss how the Trustee motion can be operationalized in schools and TVDSB buildings.”“Once final decisions have been made after meeting with the Ministry of Education, clear communications around next steps will be shared with TVDSB staff and families,” the spokesperson added.Questions surrounding the enforceability of the requirement emerged during Tuesday night’s meeting, during which TVDSB general legal counsel Ali Chahbar responded that the board lost its enforcement mechanism once the province lifted mask mandates in schools on March 21.

what is 420 Day and where did it originate?According to National Day Calendar, 420 Day is celebrated every year on April 20, where cannabis producers, consumers and advocates celebrate and smoke marijuana. "Once an unconventional day, the day has become the rallying cry of those who seek to legalize marijuana for medicinal and recreational uses," the company wrote.A cannabis plant grows in the Amsterdam Cannabis Colleges (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images) While federal law in the United States still classifies cannabis as illegal, many states have legalized the substance for medicinal or recreational use — or both.Since the 1970s, people have celebrated the unofficial holiday.
