More job action is on the way from teachers in Saskatchewan.
The Saskatchewan Teachers’ Foundation (STF) has announced that its members will pull out of all extracurricular activities for a 24-hour period on Monday.
That includes sports, drama, music, band, science clubs, intramurals, rehearsals, student leadership activities, planning for graduation celebrations, books fairs, and other clubs and activities, according to the STF.
Teachers will also withdraw lunch time supervision in some areas of the province Monday:
- Northern Lights School Division.
- Northwest School Division.
- Prairie South School Division.
- Saskatoon Public Schools and Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools.
- Living Sky School Division.
- Light of Christ Catholic School Division.
- Sakewew High School in North Battleford.
STF president Samantha Becottee is set to provide more details at a news conference Friday at 10:30 a.m. CST.
The STF and the provincial government remain at an impasse in contract negotiations after the latest round of talks collapsed last week.
The Saskatchewan Teachers Federation is asking the provincial government to address violence in schools. Here’s one teacher’s story. She has requested her last name be left out to protect the privacy of the student involved in the incident.
Teachers in Saskatchewan have been without a contract since August.
Becotte has said a contract that does not address class size or classroom complexity is unacceptable, while the province has said the bargaining table is not where those topics should be addressed.
