After the spring break several other safety measures will be in place at schools, Education Minister Lecce said:

• Students and staff will be given “refresher training” on health and pandemic protocols;
• Schools will be encouraged to offer more outdoor education in parks and playgrounds;
• Schools will be deep cleaned during the spring break;
• A requirement now in place for secondary students to affirm that they have taken the daily COVID-19 symptom screening quiz will be expanded to include elementary students. Typically, secondary students let their teacher know that they have done the test each day.
