The premier could announce today whether his government will keep kids out of school for another week.

Doug Ford telling reporters he would make a decision in the next day or two after consulting with the province's Medical Officer's of Health.

The possible move has the backing of the Elementary Teachers Federation wants online learning for students extended for another week.
