FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. (FOX 2) - A substitute teacher was recorded making a racist comment toward a Black student Thursday at Farmington High School."I was touching the teacher’s mic.

Thames Valley District School Board says after March break, it will be up to staff and students whether they want to wear a mask.The update for families in the region comes after the Ontario government said Wednesday that it would lift COVID-19 masking mandates in most social settings on March 21.Director of Education Mark Fisher told Global News while the TVDSB will encourage masking in schools, the decision to do so will be an individual choice.“We’re asking all members of the community, no matter where they come down on this issue, to honour and respect the individual choice that people will make in this regard,” said Fisher. ‘We’ve got to move on,’ Doug Ford says as Ontario announces easing of mask mandate Public health units could potentially override the lifting of provincial mandates with the use of a Section 22 Order, but neither of the health units that cover TVDSB schools – the Middlesex-London Health Unit and Southwestern Public Health – have announced plans to do so, according to Fisher.On Thursday, MLHU medical officer of health Dr.

Winter storm will blast East Coast as powerful 'bomb cyclone' after bringing snow to Midwest, South

winter storm will bring snow from parts of the Plains and Midwest into the South through Friday night, then intensify into a powerful "bomb cyclone" as it blasts the East Coast with heavy snow and high winds on Saturday.As a strong upper-level jet stream plunges out of the West, it will spawn the development of a surface low-pressure system along a cold front in the lower Mississippi Valley. That low will then rapidly strengthen as it tracks into the Northeast by Saturday and Atlantic Canada on Sunday.Meteorologists use the term bomb cyclone to describe a low-pressure system that undergoes "bombogenesis" – defined as a rapid pressure drop of at least 24 millibars in 24 hours or less – indicative of a very intense storm system.
