Ontario has reached a tentative deal with English-language public elementary teachers, averting a possible strike.
Education Minister Stephen Lecce confirmed the deal in a social media post on Tuesday morning.
“This agreement brings us one step closer to ensuring there will be no province-wide job actions or strikes in all English-language public schools for the next three years,” he said.
The new tentative central agreement will impact about 80,000 teacher and occasional teachers across the province.
The minister said that some issues will be going to binding arbitration, although it is unclear what those outstanding issues are.
“I want to respect the process,” Lecce told reporters at Queen’s Park.
“I just think it's a fair outcome for the member certainly but it's really good for kids, because they get three years of peace three additional years of peace, which is a big outcome for a lot of parents in Ontario.”
