Ontario will allow its school boards to dip into reserve funds to ensure physical distancing in classrooms and will also provide money for ventilation upgrades ahead of the new term in September, Education Minister Stephen Lecce said on Thursday.

The province will also provide C$50 million to help upgrade HVAC and ventilation systems and C$18 million to facilitate online learning, Lecce told reporters. Lecce said the government would not cap classes, but said the funding would give individual school boards “flexibility” in how they ensure physical distancing measures are followed.
Students in grades four and up will be required to wear masks at all times, though some exceptions will be allowed.
