On Saturday afternoon, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe announced on Twitter the province will be investing an additional $40 million to ensure "more resources are available for safe classrooms." Over the past few weeks, we’ve been listening to concerns from students, parents and teachers about returning to school during the #COVID19SK pandemic.

Our government hears you.https://t.co/dY4W1QwFvo —@PremierScottMoeThe new measures will provide "more information, more time, more testing capacity and more resources to ensure a safe return to school for all Saskatchewan students," Moe said. We’re acting by investing an additional $40 million so that more resources are available for safe classrooms. She noted while the additional $40 million is welcome, she feels the government should have had its back-to-school plan in place and ready earlier.
