The School Support Area of the Federation of Public Service Employees (FEESP-CSN), which represents the largest number of support staff in the education network, contacted the Federation of School Service Centers so that it can formulate clear instructions on how to proceed on April 8, the day of the solar eclipse .
According to the FEESP-CSN, the association does not yet intend to make a corresponding recommendation.
Last week, several school service centers (CSS) in Quebec announced their decision to suspend classes on April 8 while daycare centers remain open. The Laval School Services Center (CSSL) announced this decision on Wednesday, February 28th.
Controversial decision
“This decision defies logic,” claims Annie Charland, president of FEESP’s school support division, in a press release. “The CSS fears that teachers will not be able to care for students during the eclipse, but they are not afraid to keep them in daycare, even as the ratio between educators and students explodes in many schools.”
Like the Association for the Teaching of Science and Technology in Quebec (AESTQ), Annie Charland believes that this rare phenomenon can represent an interesting learning opportunity for students.
However, she also emphasizes that the recommendations must be communicated immediately to all school staff.
“The lack of consistency in the measures taken by various school service centers is a matter of great concern and creates uncertainty for students, parents and staff in the educational network,” continues the president of the school support sector of the FEESP-CSN in the press release. There needs to be clear and consistent lines for everyone.” (CP/IJL)
