A strike could be looming at Waterloo Region District School Board high schools as early as late April.
The board has been in conciliation with the unions representing teachers and support staff and has issued a statement saying those meetings will continue in the weeks ahead.
The statement, on the board’s website, goes on to say, “We understand this information about potential withdrawal of services will cause anxiety for our students, parents and staff. As a board, we remain committed to reaching fair, negotiated agreements and avoiding any disruption to student learning. We value our secondary teachers as dedicated, caring professionals committed to student success.”
The contracts for teachers and support staff expired in the fall.
