The Ontario government says it has reached a tentative contract extension deal with high school teachers.
The Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation was the last of the province's education unions to hammer out a deal with the government that extends well past next year's election.
If all of the contract extension agreements with teachers and support staff across Ontario are ratified, it means the Liberal government will avoid any contentious education bargaining in the runup to the election.
The last round of negotiations saw support staff and elementary teachers stage work-to-rule campaigns while the government threatened to dock their pay.
