Teacher Contract Negotiations - Job Action
Note: See links to additional information at the bottom of this page
As you are probably aware, the BC Teachers' Federation served 72-hour strike notice on Wednesday, August 31 and has begun Phase 1 job action in BC schools, including Langley. Classes are still being taught and proper supervision is being provided to students at all times. However, teachers will not be performing 'administrative' duties like: preparation of report cards; meet-the-teacher nights; and organization of assemblies. Supervision of students before and after school, at lunch hour and during recess is being provided by management and administrative staff.
This page provides general information and updates about job action in Langley Schools. For specific information about your school please contact the administration office. Langley School District regrets the inconvenience job action will cause, however, negotiation of main contract issues take place at the provincial level between the BCTF and the BC Public School Employers Association. Langley School District's priorities are to deliver the K-12 curriculum in a safe, welcoming learning environment and to preserve respectful relationships between all partner groups during job action.
