With multiple education worker unions in our area, there may be some confusion as to when strike action may take place that would affect parents and students.
For the week of February 3-7 the following job actions are known to be taking place.
Parents/guardians and students may experience some minor delays during drop-off and pick-up times Monday (Feb. 3, 2020) as members of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association (OECTA) engage in a third information picket. The union plans to have information pickets at every school Monday before and after school.
Additionally, ALL PVNC schools will be closed to students on Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2020 as OECTA engages in a one-day full withdrawal of service. All student transportation to PVNC schools will be cancelled that day.
For KPR Secondary Schools, ALL KPR secondary schools will be closed this Tuesday, February 4, 2020.
For KPR Elementary Schools, the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) has announced they will be escalating rotating strikes throughout the province beginning the week of February 3 pending ongoing negotiations. As part of this action, KPR elementary teachers are scheduled to participate in two full withdrawals of service this week:
Wednesday, February 5 (rotating one-day strike locally)
Thursday, February 6 (province-wide one day strike)
