Sask. teachers continue job action with noon supervision withdrawal again Tuesday
Sask. teachers in several school divisions again plan to pause noon-hour supervision on Tuesday as part of their rotating strikes.
The one-day job action is in addition to the previously announced countdown ahead of a province-wide withdrawal of extracurricular activities scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation (STF) said in a release Saturday morning.
By law, 48 hours' notice is required for job action. However, the STF is providing extra time to allow families to make arrangements.
Withdrawal of noon-hour supervision means STF members will not be available to supervise students who are eating lunch at school or taking part in noon-hour activities.
The following local associations will be affected by Tuesday’s pause of noon-hour supervision:
- Chinook Teachers’ Association – All schools in Chinook School Division
- Horizon Teachers’ Association – All schools in Horizon School Division
- Northern Area Teachers’ Association – All schools in Northern Lights School Division
- North West Teachers’ Association – All schools in Northwest School Division
- Prairie Spirit Teachers’ Association – All schools in Prairie Spirit School Division
- Prairie Valley Teachers’ Association – All schools in Prairie Valley School Division
- Prince Albert and Area Teachers’ Association – All schools in Saskatchewan Rivers School Division and Prince Albert Catholic School Division
- Sun West Teachers’ Association – All schools in Sun West School Division
Teachers and the province remain at odds over a new contract after a second impasse was declared by the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation (STF) in February.
On Friday, STF announced that Sask. teachers will picket at the legislative building on Monday as part of a one-day rotating strike.
STF said teachers from various school divisions will gather in front of the legislative building as spring gets underway.
