Parents in Niagara have at least another five weeks of homeschooling ahead of them.
Publicly funded schools across Ontario will be closed at least until May 31st.
Schools were tentatively slated to re-open on May 4th, but that has now been extended.
Education Minister Stephen Lecce made the announcement at a press conference yesterday.
This means all schools in the DSBN and Niagara Catholic boards will continue online learning at least until June.
