Some Niagara high school students will get the day off school tomorrow as Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation members hold another one day strike.
Union members at 9 school boards, including high school teachers with the District School Board of Niagara, will be taking part in the job action tomorrow.
The DSBN's Kim Yielding says the board didn't want parents and students to be staying up late waiting for word on if the strike is a go, so the DSBN notified the public about tomorrow's potential closure at 6 p.m.
OSSTF President Harvey Bischoff says they are not yet planning an all out, multi-day strike.
"We're balancing the need to take action in order to raise awareness about this government's destructive path that they're on with trying to minimize the amount of disruption that students and their families are feeling. We're certainly not anxious to ramp this up to anything that would have significantly more impact than it does right now."
