NLSD schools plan for withdrawal of noon-hour supervision

While the next round of rotating strikes won’t affect its schools, the withdrawal of noon-hour supervision will affect students and parents.

After talks broke down between the provincial government and the Saskatchewan Teachers Federation (STF) earlier this week, the STF announced the withdrawal of noon-hour supervision province-wide on Friday.

In a letter following the announcement, the Northern Lights School Division said every one of its schools has a plan to ensure student’s safety.

“As a school division, we respect the collective bargaining process,” said Director of Education Jason Young in the letter. “Our number one priority is the safety of our students, and we are committed to keeping parents, caregivers and families informed of future job action and changes to school operations.”
