This morning's icy road conditions and inclement weather prompted the Algoma & Huron-Superior Transportation Services Consortium to cancel all school-related transportation for every board in the catchment area.
In an email response to SooToday, Algoma District School Board’s Director of Education Lucia Reece said they “appreciate the concern of some community members about the safety of our staff who travel to work.” “After the consultation, a decision is made, we communicate to families as quickly as possible, as we understand that most parents need to get to work themselves and may be unable to make arrangements for the care of their children on short notice, if schools are closed. It is always the decision of parents/guardians if they choose to transport their children to school when transportation is cancelled.
The AHSTSC is one of four transportation service consortiums that board works with in northern Ontario.
