The Separate school board advises that it will be meeting with the Elementary teachers Union (OECTA) and a provincially-appointed mediator on Tuesday, January 31 and Wednesday, Feb. 1.
There will be no work stoppage before or on those days.
“We remain optimistic that these negotiations result in a mutually-equitable resolution,” says Director of Education, Pino Tassone.
The scheduled talks mean that it’s business as usual at all 18 elementary schools in the Board.
The Union had threatened to commence rotating strikes at various schools as early as Monday, January 30.
A total of 15 elementary (JK-6) and 3 senior elementary (7&8) schools would be affected.
