Teachers/Labour Update
The Provincial Government and the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) have been in negotiations for several months. Recently, the Alberta Teachers’ Association announced that if a settlement cannot be reached, job action will begin on Monday, October 6th. The job action may take different forms, including a full strike.
If a full strike does occur:
- Students do not attend school and buses do not run
- Childcare programs in schools can continue to operate
- Junior Kindergarten programs continue to operate
- Joint use (school user groups such as a club that uses a school gym) continues to operate
Northern Gateway School Division hopes the Provincial Government and the ATA can reach a settlement before a strike occurs. You can find the latest information on NGPS.ca, and if you have questions, you can email learn@ngps.ca or call the Division office at 780-778-2800.
