Public elementary and high schools will be closed for a one-day teacher strike next week.
The Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation (OSSTF) has announced another one-day full withdrawal of services at certain boards Wednesday, Jan. 15.
District School Board Ontario Northeast (DSB1), as well as Conseil scolaire de district catholique des Grandes Rivieres are taking part in this round of job action.
At DSB1, the OSSTF represents high school teachers, attendance counsellors, child and youth workers, early childhood educators, educational assistants, social workers and Indigenous student advisors.
"The withdrawal of services causes significant impact to our schools, including our capacity for effective supervision at the elementary panel," reads a letter to families from DSB1 director of education Lesleigh Dye.
Elementary and high schools in the board will be closed Jan. 15. They will re-open Thursday, Jan. 16.
