On the first day back to class today, the union representing public elementary teachers will hold a media conference to outline its next steps regarding the government’s repeal of the 2015 Health and Physical Education Curriculum.
ETFO President Sam Hammond says “Never in my history with the Ontario education system have I witnessed a government act to rollback education advancements."
Hammond will be joined by legal counsel Howard Goldblatt from Goldblatt Partners LLP; Goldblatt is a leading member of the labour law bar who represents trade unions in all labour and employment law matters.
The announcement will also address ETFO’s concerns with the snitch line and website that the government has set up to allow parents to anonymously report any concerns regarding teachers and the curriculum.
