We know many of you have questions about the potential teacher strike. The Alberta Teachers' Association has voted to reject the proposed agreement, which means strike action could begin as early as Monday, October 6th if an agreement isn’t reached.

We’ve shared an update on our website, along with a FAQ section to help answer many of the questions you might have.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through this together. We’ll continue to keep you updated every step of the way.
