The Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association says it has reached a tentative deal with the provincial government. They released a statement following the announcement.
In it, they say details of the agreement remain confidential pending ratification. Catholic teachers will participate in a province-wide vote that will take place on April 7th and 8th.
Effective immediately, all OECTA strike action is suspended during the ratification process.
This news came immediately after the province announced that schools will be closed until April 5th amidst the COVID-19 outbreak.
