ELK ISLAND SETS STRIKE DATE - Vol. 9 Supplement No. 5 - June 17, 1975

Sep 21, 2026

A teachers’ association in the Elk Island Region School Authorities Association sets a strike date for the school opening day in the fall after trustees fail to pursue meaningful mediation. The decision follows a recent North Central West ratification of an agreement reached four hours before an intended strike. The trustee offer in Elk Island is lower than in nearby jurisdictions, and a teacher representative urges trustees to use available mediation before classes begin. The notice requests staff communication and posting.
