The Association des enseignantes et des enseignantes franco-ontariens (AEFO), which represents teachers in our Board, has issued a one-day strike notice for Thursday, March 5, 2020.
As a result, we will not be able to ensure the safety and well-being of students and will have to close our schools to students. Unless an agreement is reached by then, classes and transportation will be cancelled for the day of March 5 for all students at the following schools:
- ÉSC de La Vérendrye, Thunder Bay
- Franco-Superior Catholic School, Thunder Bay
- Enfant-Jésus Catholic School, Dryden
- North Star Catholic School, Red Lake
- Franco-Terrace Catholic School, Terrace Bay
- Val-des-Bois Catholic School, Marathon
- Immaculate Conception School, Ignace
- Our Lady of Fatima School, Longlac
- St. Joseph School, Geraldton
Parents are strongly encouraged to make alternate plans for their children's care on March 5. School-based child care centres will remain open.
We regularly inform parents of the situation through the "Negotiations" tab on our website and on the Facebook pages of the Board and its schools
