Many school specialists at the centre of an ongoing court battle regarding their spot in the teachers union are spending their summer running virtual camps to help students before the fall. The virtual workshops have been held throughout July and run until the end of August. (CBC)Violet MacLeod, spokesperson for the Education Department, said the specialists are adding to SchoolsPlus programs in the summer months. "These programs are an important part of many students' summer providing year-long programs and services because we know that the needs of families and students don't stop for the summer." Summer staff also offered four weeks of in-person sessions at eight different schools, along with the virtual workshops, Hadley said.
