ICYMI: Local school divisions withdrawing noon-hour supervision Tuesday
UPDATED: Tuesday, March 19, 2024, 6:00 AM A withdrawal of noon hour supervision is set for Tuesday in local school divisions. The Sun West School Division and Living Sky School Division will join several across the province, after a handful of teachers associations were on strike Monday across Saskatchewan. Last week the STF offered a path-forward to ending the job action by utilizing a third-party within binding arbitration. They offered a deadline of March 17, but the option was not exercised by the provincial government as the two-sides remain at a stalemate. Fast forward to the start of the week, and it was announced that teachers would go on a provincewide strike on Wednesday, March 20. It was also announced that extracurricular activity support will be withdrawn for the following Thursday, and Friday. STF announces province-wide strike along with extracurricular withdrawal While it wasn't due to job action, school was out on Monday for a majority of west-central Saskatchewan students. The Sun West School Division has no class due to a "day in lieu of student led conferences", while the Living Sky School Division has a designated PD, non-student day to start the week.
