Schools across Perth County to be closed on Friday for one-day strike

All public and Catholic school students in Perth County are going to be out of school for another unplanned day off.

It comes as educational staff are going on on a province-wide one-day strike Friday.

The strike will close all elementary, high school and Catholic schools in the Avon Maitland District School Board and the Huron-Perth Catholic District School Board.

To mark the first province-wide action of this kind since 1997, the presidents of all four major education unions will hold a joint press conference Friday morning at Queen’s Park in Toronto.
