But the board has decided to lock out the teachers until a new agreement is reached.
Despite the lockout, the schools are open and — although programming will be significantly affected — the board says every effort will be made to ensure students are in a safe environment.
Board chair Rev. Paul MacNeil says the board has a 60-page contingency plan that will be enacted now that the lockout has occurred.
