Central Okanagan Public Schools (COPS) has come out in condemnation of the protests outside the Board of Education office this morning (Oct. 6).
The school district said in a release that the message that protesters were rallying against the use of masks in schools is not helpful as masks are the most basic layers of safety in that environment.
“We cannot condone a protest against any safety measure. Safety for our staff and students will remain our priority,” said Kevin Kaardal, Superintendent of Schools/CEO in a release.
“The hard-working people who facilitate safe and healthy learning in schools are not deterred by this attempt to disrupt their work, and we commend the diligence of both staff and students who will continue to help keep each other safe.”
