Schools across Ontario are required to monitor and report student and staff absences to the Ministry of Education, as well as any potential school closures.
The Ministry of Education also requires schools to report when student absence rates rise to a level of 30% or more to their local Public Health Unit.
If the level of absences reaches 30% or more, a letter will be sent home to families at that school.
The school closure will be posted on the COVID-19 Advisory Board.
As of today, there is one school closure in the province.
In Milton, no schools are reporting a student absence rate above 30%.
In Halton, three schools have an absence rate above 30%.
| Halton Catholic District School Board | Notre Dame Catholic SS | Burlington | 40.2% |
| Halton District School Board | Gary Allan High School – 04 | Burlington | 42.9% |
| Halton District School Board | Gary Allan High School – STEP | Burlington | 53.7% |
