With the news that the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation will walkout on Wednesday, December 4th if a new contract agreement is not reached the Avon Maitland District School Board has issued a statement.
Should there be a walkout the AMDSB will have no option to close all schools both elementary and secondary as there would not be sufficient supervision to ensure safety.
Any out of school activities like sports, co-ops, and field trips will also be canceled. Parents and guardians will have to make alternative arrangements for children.
Community use of schools will continue and that includes child care and Early ON programming.
More than 60 thousand teachers, educational assistants, early childhood educators, and support staff are OSSTF members.
Staff are scheduled to return back to work on December 5th.
