Feb 24, 2024 | 10:38 AM

One day after announcing that job action would resume after the February break, the Saskatchewan Teachers Federation (STF) said more sanctions will be enforced on Tuesday.

In a news release, the STF said that rotating strikes, withdrawal of noon-hour supervision, and withdrawal of extracurricular activities will hit more school divisions on Feb. 27.

This comes after the union announced the withdrawal of noon-hour supervision and extracurricular activities for some divisions on Monday.

These job actions will take place on Tuesday, February 27 at locations throughout the province. By law, 48 hours’ notice is required for job action; however, the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation is providing extra time to allow families to make necessary arrangements.

The one-day strikes will affect teachers from the following local associations:

  • Association des enseignantes et enseignants fransaskois – École Boréale (Ponteix)

  • North West Teachers’ Association – All schools in Northwest School Division
  • Prairie Valley Teachers’ Association – All schools in Prairie Valley School Division
  • Saskatchewan Distance Learning Centre – North West Campus (Neilburg), South West Campus (Swift Current)

Meanwhile, the withdrawal of noon-hour supervision will affect these associations:

  • Holy Trinity Teachers’ Association – All schools in Holy Trinity Catholic School Division
  • Horizon Teachers’ Association – All schools in Horizon School Division
  • North East Teachers’ Association – All schools in North East School Division
  • Regina Catholic Schools Teachers’ Association – All schools in Regina Catholic Schools
  • South East Cornerstone Teachers’ Association – All schools in South East Cornerstone School Division

Finally, the withdrawal of extracurricular activities will impact these regions:

  • Creighton Teachers’ Association – All schools in Creighton School Division
  • Horizon Teachers’ Association – All schools in Horizon School Division
  • Prairie South Teachers’ Association – All schools in Prairie South School Division
  • Regina Catholic Schools Teachers’ Association – All schools in Regina Catholic Schools
  • Regina Public Schools Teachers’ Association – All schools in Regina Public Schools

Extracurricular activities include before, noon-hour, and after school activities such as fine arts, leadership clubs, and intramurals.

Plans for addressing noon-hour supervision will be communicated by the school boards and individual schools.
