The Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) will hold a one-day strike in select school boards, including the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB), on Friday, February 28. All OCDSB elementary and secondary schools will be closed to students on Friday, February 28th. The closure will include regular school day activities, Co-op, Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP), dual credit courses and home instruction as well as extra-curricular activities, field trips, clubs and testing activities planned for February 28th. Extended Day Programs operated by the OCDSB will also be cancelled. Parents are asked to confirm with third-party providers for details. All community use of school permits for February 28th will be cancelled. The OSSTF represents secondary teachers and occasional teachers, and support staff in elementary and secondary schools at the OCDSB. Without these staff at work, the OCDSB cannot provide adequate supervision of all students; ensure proper resources and supports for students with special needs; or maintain custodial and maintenance services.
