Aug 24, 2021 11:18: BdiL changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Sep 27, 2021 22:12: Andrea Capuselli changed "Term Context" from "Improvements to ventilation have been made across all schools and all boards in Ontario. Previously, it talked about school boards. Does it mean school boards?" to "Context removed by ProZ.com staff."

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): Rachel Fell, Rob Grayson, BdiL

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

school boards

As above
Note from asker:
For me, it makes sense to make improvements to ventilation across all school board OFFICES, not school board alone!
But I am not a native speaker, that's what I feel
Peer comment(s):

agree Tony M : Each local / regional 'board' is responsible for a number of schools, so this means all the schools run by all the (school) boards — nothing to do with offices.
