Teachers and education workers in the Upper Grand District School Board and the Wellington Catholic District School Board will participate in a one-day, full withdrawal of services on Friday, Feb. 28, if no negotiation has been met with the province.

The announcement came late Friday, a day when all schools in the province were closed for strike action.

This means that all elementary and secondary schools in the two school boards represented by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation (OSSTF) and the Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association (OECTA) will be closed.

This limited withdrawal of services, which has been in place since November, will continue province-wide.

Select school boards will be closed.
