Teachers in Nova Scotia are planning job action on Monday.
This comes after talks between the Nova Scotia Teachers Union and the province broke down again last week.
The work-to-rule job action means extracurricular activities like clubs, sports and field trips will not go ahead, teachers will arrive 20 minutes before their shift and leave 20 minutes after school ends, and teachers will not collect money from students or perform tasks related to data entry.
The Superintendent of the Tri-County Regional School Board says they have a contingency plan in place.
Lisa Doucet says meetings are taking place between senior staff and school administrators on the impact of job action.
“We want to ensure that programs are still running for students, like the breakfast programs, and our early years programs, and programs that are helping support students and families through SchoolsPlus. Those types of things we want to ensure continue.”
Doucet says the safety and supervision of students is a main priority for the board right now.
“We’re working to look at how that will be covered in each of our schools, maintaining that the safety of our students is a priority.”
She says its important for things to run as smoothly as possible.
