Ontario elementary school teachers are starting the next round of work-to-rule strike action on Monday.

Until the Elementary Teachers' Federation reaches a deal with the school boards, teachers will no longer:

  • complete any paperwork, applications or proposals to the Ministry of Education for special grants or funding
  • participate in the preparation or completion of Grade 8 to Grade 9 transition reports
  • participate in any grade-to-grade transition meetings
  • complete end of year Ontario Student Record (OSR) activities including filing, sorting and completion of French cards
  • participate in any in-school meetings or professional learning activities on the end of year Professional Activity (PA) day
  • book any field trips for the 2015-16 instructional year

The first phase of the teachers’ job action began May 11, when teachers withdrew from administrative duties including writing comments on report cards and participating in professional development initiatives.

There will also be no standardized tests until the strike action is over.
