Local English Catholic schools are closed today, amid a province-wide strike.
The Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association announced the one-day strike last week, just hours into an "administrative job action" campaign, which has members refraining from activities like preparing report cards, participating in EQAO-related activities, and attending or participating in Ministry of Education initiatives.
It's the first time in more than 20 years that OECTA's withdrawn services province-wide.
The local Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board says classes and transportation are cancelled for all of its schools, which are closed to students for the day, though schools are expected to reopen as normal - with transportation - tomorrow.
