These eastern Ontario schools are closed today for strikes

The basics: 

• No school Tuesday for all eastern Ontario English Catholic students.
• No school Tuesday for Renfrew County English public students.
• No school Tuesday for English public high school students in Hastings and Prince Edward County.

A number of eastern Ontario schools are closed today as strikes by education workers continue.

Members of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association (OECTA) are taking part in a one-day strike, meaning all eastern Ontario English Catholics schools are closed.

Teachers and education workers represented by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation (OSSTF) are  striking in select school boards, including the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board and some in Trenton.

Finally, members of the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (ETFO) in Renfrew County are striking.

Boards that are not mentioned, such as the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board and Limestone District School Board, are not affected.

No more one-day strikes have been announced in our region.
