Striking support staff in the Keewatin-Patricia School District disrupted classes this morning at Dryden High School in efforts to draw more attention to their dispute.
Union spokesperson Pam Constable says her members exercised their right today by slowing down the flow of people going into the school.
Many teachers, who are part of the same union, chose to respect the support workers pickets and did not go inside the school.
The demonstration is now over and classes have since returned to normal but not before someone pulled the fire alarm.
Emergency personnel responded but it turned out to be a false alarm.
The strike by more than 200 education assistants, librarians, office and clerical workers is now into its third month.
Meantime, Dryden parent Shelley Fediuk is discouraged with the school board.
She says her daughter, a special needs student, has not received any instruction since the strike began 11 weeks ago.
Now, Fediuk is angry because she says the high school wants her daughter to write exams at the end of this month.
