UPDATED AUGUST 17, 2020
Parents and caregivers must assess their child daily and if a child has any symptoms, they must not take the bus to school.
Students should clean their hands before they leave home to take the bus, when they leave school prior to taking the bus, and when they get home.
Middle and secondary students are required to wear non-medical masks when they are on the bus. Non-medical masks are not recommended for elementary school students.
If space is available, students should each have their own seat (unless sharing with a member of their household) and sit separated side to side and front to back.
There may be slight variations to the above by individual school districts, but PHO recommendations must be followed by all districts.
