What the classroom will look like this fall - CBC.ca

Schools in Ottawa's largest board are getting ready for a surge in students and the risk of viral transmission during the global pandemic. 

Many aspects of school have changed to limit the spread of COVID-19 — there's more distance around teachers, water fountains are for refilling bottles only, younger kids work behind Plexiglas and hallways are marked with new directional signs.

CBC requested a tour inside an Ottawa school before the start of class but the OCDSB declined, saying staff were too busy preparing for back to school. Grade 9 students are set to head back to class Sept. 8 and 9, while the youngest elementary students are scheduled to begin class in mid-September.

Rather than provide CBC access to buildings ahead of time, the OCDSB provided videos and photos inside Broadview, Sir Robert Borden and Orléans Wood schools.
