I want to acknowledge all of the good work that is being done in schools and I have seen it for myself as I have a lot of interaction with schools. I am concerned, like everybody else, that when things go wrong where are the supports for schools and they are basically held out to dry for things that may be way beyond their control in terms of addressing them.
Are the reports on the impact of Covid cross-sectional? Have comparisons been made between what happened in this State and other countries?
