📋 Tender Overview
To further support student and staff well-being and the continued health and safety of our school communities 55 new front-line positions are being added immediately to schools across the province.The new positions include additional teachers educational assistants bus drivers school counsellors and autism consultants. Schools identified the need for these additional resources through the Public Schools Branch PSB and Commission scolaire de langue franaise CSLF. Our back to school plans have allowed our Island school communities to return to school safely but we are seeing that COVID-19 has caused increased stress and anxiety. We need to ensure that students can not only learn but thrive and that their mental health and wellbeing is a priority. We will continue to work with our schools to identify their needs and build strong healthy supportive school communities.- Education and Lifelong Learning Minister Brad Trivers
