Local public elementary schools are closed for a four-day weekend.
Rotating one-day strikes by the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario include the Algoma District School Board today, prompting the board to close its elementary schools for the day - though it also warns that makes it a four-day weekend, as tomorrow is a pre-scheduled PD Day.
The board does note community use of the schools is allowed to continue as normal, though any scheduled School Council meetings and school-based meetings, activities, and sports are cancelled.
Escalating rotating strikes also give ADSB elementary students another four-day weekend next week, as all 83,000 ETFO members will strike next Thursday, February 6th, and then members with the Algoma District School Board will strike Friday, February 7th.
