The province’s reopening plan currently includes having elementary students in the classroom five days a week while most secondary students will be in at least 50 per cent of the time.

However, parents also have the option to keep their kids at home or do remote learning.

Back in late July, Del Duca and the Liberal party unveiled its own back to school plan.
