A North York elementary school remains open, despite students in most classes being asked to self-isolate after one staff member tested positive for COVID-19.
A Toronto District School Board spokesperson told the Toronto Star, Toronto Public Health is not recommending Stanley Public School, near Jane and Sheppard, be closed.
The school is in one of the city’s highest-risk neighbourhoods for COVID-19 as identified by Toronto Public Health.
The junior-kindergarten to grade five school has close to 300 students, and the seven self-isolating classes represents the majority.
