Christ the Redeemer Catholic Schools says parents may want to prepare for childcare in case teachers walk off the job on Oct. 6.
On Friday, Sept. 12, the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) filed legal strike notice with the Alberta Labour Relations Board.
CTR issued a statement saying schools continue as normal for now, but the division is warning families to be ready in case a strike goes ahead, including arranging for childcare.
Little Flower Pre-Kindergarten and before- and after-school programs, which are run by external providers, will not be affected by any labour disruption.
The division says it will share more updates as negotiations between the ATA and the Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association continue.
Negotiations will resume this week.
