Premier Scott Moe says the Saskatchewan government remains in active talks with some large schools about halving class sizes and alternating school days should those schools move to Level 3 of the province's back-to-school plan. "School divisions may consider additional options, including alternating days for high school students," the Ministry of Education said in a release that day. On Monday, the ministry provided an update, saying that school divisions are currently preparing plans on how a move to Level 3 would work. "But we are looking at it at a very granular level with individual divisions with respect to individual schools," Moe said Tuesday of the ongoing talks. "[Level 3] would allow for essentially halving a number of the classrooms or all of the classrooms if necessary to ensure that those small class sizes can be achieved."
