September 8, 2021

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the Special Board Meeting on Aug. 24, the draft policies related to mandatory mask usage and staff & visitor COVID-19 vaccination received first reading by the Louis Riel School Division (LRSD) Board of Trustees. The Senior Leadership Team also presented the Navigating the 2021-2022 School Year Plan:

Navigating the 2021-2022 School Year

The policies will also be reviewed by LRSD's Workplace Safety and Health Committee at its first meeting of the year.

In light of the announcement by the Province of Manitoba on Tuesday, August 24, we are integrating the new public health orders into the draft policies. Learn more about immunization requirements for public sector employees.

On Wednesday, August 25, families and staff received an online survey via email to provide input on the draft policies and the related return to school plan.

The Senior Leadership Team and school administration will review the feedback on Thursday, Sept. 2 as we continue to refine our Navigating the 2021-2022 School Year Plan. The Board of Trustees will also review all feedback before considering the policies for second and third readings at its first regular meeting of the school year on Tuesday, Sept. 7 at 6:30 p.m.

One question that has been top of mind in our community is the process for verifying staff and visitor vaccinations. We have developed the following draft process and will continue to refine it over the coming days:
