NS classroom conditions

The council of classroom conditions has wrapped up its first set of meetings with a number of recommendations.

Set up as part of the legislated contract on teachers, the council helkd three days of meetings this week and came up with 18 recommendations.

They include things like giving teachers two days to respond to parent’s emails so classroom time isn’t disrupted and making changes to attendance policies.

Dartmouth High school teacher Michael Cosgrove told the CBC ultimately time will tell.  Teachers, students; parents, and Nova Scotians will be the judge of it.
