As students leave school for the weekend, it’s unclear when they might return.
School boards in the region say they’ll close and pivot to remote learning if a strike involving the Canadian Union of Public Employees education workers goes ahead.
That includes the Hastings & Prince Edward District School Board, the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board and Trillium & Lakelands District School Board.
CUPE, which represents school custodians, secretaries and education assistants, says it will announce by 5 p.m. on Sunday whether the strike is on.
