Back picketing

OSSTF District 5B members Duane Roen, left, Mike Allison, and Vince Gouin took to the picket line once again near the Rainy River District School Board office this morning. With today’s one-day strike—and another planned for Monday—impacting final exams, a condensed exam schedule has been prepared. Many Grade 12 students now have to write four exams in two days but if they write an exam and their overall mark drops, it will not count. Teachers also are not taking part in Fort High’s annual graduation ceremony, which remains scheduled for next Thursday evening (June 23), with diplomas to be presented, as well as some awards, scholarships, and bursaries.
