After thoughtful consideration, the Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board has made the decision to limit access to schools this Friday if the political protest takes place by CUPE employees.\u00a0 This means that students are not to attend school this Friday, November 4th<\/sup>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CUPE represents many workers in the board, including school and board office clerical,caretakers, dayworkers and maintenance staff, educational assistants, early childhood educators, early years assistants and library maintenance workers.\u00a0 They are valuedmembers of our Huron-Superior Catholic family who provide important supports to ourstudents and staff and are crucial to the operation of safe, healthy schools and worksites for everyone. Without CUPE staff in place in schools, we cannot provide a safe and healthy environment for students or staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recognize that families started this school year hopeful it would be free from interruptions. However, considering the number of employees involved in Friday\u2019s possible political action, and the integral roles they fill in our Catholic school communities, our board has determined that this is the responsible course of action at this time.\u00a0 This decision was not made lightly and aligns with school boards across the province who have a significant number of staff represented by CUPE,\u201d said HSCDSB Director of Education, Danny Viotto.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As mentioned, on Friday, there will be no instruction provided to students.\u00a0 Should the protest continue into next week the board will send out communication with respect to plans for student instruction and learning.\u00a0 Students are encouraged to take home any personal belongings they may require before leaving on Thursday.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Any field trips, events, or after-school activities, as well as Community Use of Schools permits will be cancelled for the day.\u00a0 For before and after-school childcare programs and daycare services, families are encouraged to reach out to providers for more information.\u00a0 Parents are not required to report their child\u2019s absence as schools are closed to students for the day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Viotto went on to say that, \u201cIf a settlement is reached before Friday, this plan will change and again, we will communicate with families as quickly as possible.\u00a0 We are doing our best to make timely decisions based on current information.\u00a0 We respect that families require time to arrange child care if this is the situation they find themselves in on Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The board is committed to ensuring parents have timely, accurate information, and will provide regular labour negotiations updates on our Board website, as well as on our social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram). Families will also receive updates through School Messenger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
