Contract talks are to occur over the weekend, but TLDSB has elected to close schools as a precaution to ensure student safety.<\/p>\n<p>In the statement, TLDSB said that it has &#8220;carefully assessed the potential impact on school operations and determined that student safety cannot be ensured. Therefore all TLDSB schools will be closed to students starting Monday, October 7, 2019 until the end of the CUPE full withdrawal of services. This includes all elementary, secondary, and adult and alternate education centres. Education centres in Lindsay and Bracebridge will remain open.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Parents and guardians have been asked to make alternate arrangements for their children and to not send them to school on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>The school board said it will notify parents and guardians of any changes prior to Monday morning, and has asked those affected to monitor the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tldsb.on.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TLDSB website<\/a><\/span> for updates.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">The TLDSB statement adds, &#8220;The decision to close schools to students was very carefully considered. CUPE staff in TLDSB school provide important work in our schools, including support for students with special needs, safe arrival programs, water line flushing, cleaning, and maintenance of our buildings. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We understand that this can be very frustrating for families and hope that a provincial agreement with CUPE will be reached very soon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The decision also impacts community use of schools. Any community programs or services scheduled within schools have also been cancelled.<\/p>\n<p>The Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board, of which St. Mary&#8217;s is part, has not yet followed suit as of this morning. Only its custodial staff would be involved in the potential strike.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox three times per week!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a statement on its website today, Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB) announced that it will close all schools beginning on Monday, October 7 due to strike notice [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1903,"featured_media":6068,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[26],"class_list":["post-75814","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-breaking"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
