All elementary schools in the Near North District School Board (NNDSB) will be closed to students Thursday.
The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) is holding province-wide job action on Thursday. The union and province had resumed talks on a new deal, but talks broke down last Friday after three days.
