On Monday afternoon, OCDSB trustee Mark Fisher told CBC 91 per cent had responded. As of Monday afternoon, responses had been submitted for more than 46,000 elementary students, 26.9 per cent, or more than 12,000 of show have opted for remote learning. Wednesday's update will also provide more details about the remote learning model. She said it's also unclear what new demands the large remote learning cohort will place on teachers.
