Negotiations between the provincial government and the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association have resumed, following the announcement of more strike days.
OECTA plans to fully withdraw services at each Catholic school board beginning next week if a deal is not reached.
In a statement, Education Minister Stephen Lecce said he's "pleased the mediator has called all parties back to the negotiating table", adding his objective has always been to reach "fair" deals.
However, OECTA President Liz Stuart said, "there is nothing reasonable about cutting supports for vulnerable students, increasing class sizes, and reducing course options".
Schools in the Huron-Perth Catholic District School Board will be closed on February 25, those in Bruce and Grey are closed on February 27, and schools in Wellington will be closed on February 28, if the rotating strikes go ahead.
In addition, a province-wide walkout will be taking place this Friday.
