Quinte-area public school board cancels elementary report cards due to labour dispute
BELLEVILLE – The Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board has announced that February report cards for elementary-school students will not be sent home due to job actions by its teachers.
The school board made the announcement on its website Monday, and also sent home a letter to parents from director of education Sean Monteith. The notice also said Grade 9 standardized math tests would not take place because of the labour dispute.
Teachers’ unions across Ontario are engaged in one-day strikes and work-to-rule campaigns as part of a dispute with the provincial government over increased class sizes, online-learning requirements and other issues.
More to come.
