New teachers sanctions to impact schools in northeast and Battlefords

More lunch hours are being cancelled in the province as part of the next round of sanctions by the Teachers Federation (STF) have been announced.

The STF will withdraw noon-hour supervision at several divisions on Friday.

This includes the North East School Division, Living Sky School Division, and Light of Christ Catholic Schools.

In a statement sent to the media, the STF said it understands this job action is inconvenient to many families.

“Parents and caregivers concerned about the impact of job action should contact their MLAs and elected school board trustees and ask them to encourage the government’s bargaining committee to return to the table with a new mandate,” the statement reads.

Meanwhile, the provincial government has said the federation has only been at the bargaining table for half an hour over the past five months.

While class size and composition have been sticking points for the union, leading it to turn down invitations to resume bargaining, the province has said those issues should be managed on the local level by school divisions.
