Public elementary teachers are ramping up their job action in their demand for a new contract with the government.
A second phase of a work-to-rule campaign is kicking in today.
It includes sixteen different actions teachers won’t be doing, including planning for any new field trips. This would include planned trips to Toronto taken mostly by grade 7 and 8 students.
Information from the Rainy River District School Board says swimming lessons are not impacted.
Teachers are also not collecting money for school-based activities, serving as the ‘teacher-in-charge’ when administrators aren’t in school or distributing memos and letters from the school or board.
The latest actions are on top of those teachers stopped doing two weeks ago when the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario entered into a legal strike position.
The move comes exactly two weeks after the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario began phase one of their work to rule campaign, which included not taking part in any professional learning offered by either the school board or the Ministry of Education.
