All Upper Canada District School Board students will need to return to in-class learning this September.
The UCDSB Board of Trustees has voted to discontinue its remote learning program for the 2024-25 school year, citing a sharp decline in enrolment in the program.
Remote Learning began during the 2020-2021 school year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It remained as an option this year to give families time to adjust to returning to the classroom, but staff say less than 1% of students across the board are enrolled in the program.
According to the announcement, the board is confident it can provide “personalized programing for students who may require a different approach to in-person learning.”
Staff also add this won’t affect online class opportunities for secondary students.
