ETFO deal reached in cloud of COVID-19 in Peterborough, Kawartha is busy dealing with the current COVID-19 pandemic, but the good news of a tentative deal shouldn't be lost. Given everything that's going on, Lloyd said it's important to recognize "we value our teachers and their professionalism." According to Lloyd, when it comes to the one-day strikes, at this point parents are acknowledging job action is going to happen. "For the most part, people understand these things are going to happen every three to four years," she added. While everything is a bit twisted now, Lloyd looks forward to when classrooms are filled with students, and teachers can continue doing what they love. "When things are back to what we're used to, that will be wonderful news," she said. by Taylor Clysdale Taylor Clysdale covers municipal, provincial and federal politics for Peterborough This Week.You can follow him on Twitter @TaylorClysdale and reach him at tclysdale@mykawartha.com.
