The Keewatin-Patricia District School Board is warning families of a potential closure of their schools on Wednesday due to job action.
The school board states that the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation announced they will be escalating their job action with a one-day, province-wide full withdrawal of services on Wednesday if a new agreement isn’t reached before then.
The KPDSB says that if an agreement isn’t reached, all schools will be closed on that day across the board.
The school board states that OSSTF members include not only secondary teachers, but also adult education teachers, elementary and secondary Education Assistants, office, clerical, library and occasional staff.
Families are urged to make alternate arrangements for the school closures, however Childcare Centres at the schools will remain open.
Students are expected to report as usual for classes in the Northwest Catholic District School Board.
In Red Lake, St. John’s Catholic School and the l’école catholique Étoiles-du-Nord school will remain open.
L’école catholique de l’Enfant-Jésus in Dryden will also remain open.
School buses for those students are scheduled to operate on their normal routes tomorrow.
