The Bruce Grey Catholic District School Board says it will move to remote learning Monday, November 7th as strike action for education workers represented by CUPE is expected to begin tomorrow and continue next week.
The Director of the board has released a statement posted below:
“It appears at this time the withdrawal of services by our CUPE members could continue into next
week. For the Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board, this withdrawal of service will include our
Educational Assistants, Custodians, Office Administrators, Early Childhood Educators, Library
Technicians, IT Field Technicians, and CUPE staff at our Catholic Education Centre. This
comprises approximately 420 permanent and casual employees (about 41% of our staff).
As such, all Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board schools will be closed to students until an
agreement is reached.
We received confirmation today from the Ministry of Education that we are to move to remote
learning.
Tomorrow, Friday, November 4, 2022 staff will be preparing their lesson plans in order to begin
remote learning.
Remote learning for BGCDSB students will begin on Monday, November 7, 2022.
Updates will be posted on the “CUPE Work Action Update”
