math homeworkMinister of Education Stephen Lecce announced today that public school boards will make local decisions about whether or not to proceed with the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) Grade 9 Mathematics Assessment scheduled to begin next week.

Due to the ongoing provincial labour action involving the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (OSSTF), Bluewater District School Board is postponing the EQAO Grade 9 Mathematics Assessment scheduled to begin next week, to ensure that we provide a positive environment that supports success for our students.

Please be advised that the assessment will be postponed, and will be rescheduled for students to write in June 2020.

We will continue to keep you informed as new updates regarding provincial labour negotiations become available http://www.bwdsb.on.ca/parents/Labour_Updates
