The government has remained resolute in class size and complexity being the responsibility of local school boards, and the STF has said it will return to the table if the government agrees to negotiate on these issues or go to binding arbitration on them. On Friday, Minister of Education Jeremy Cockrill indicated in an email statement that work is being done to "find a pathway forward" with the STF.
Cockrill also stated previously that the government has moved on many of the items the STF has asked for, and are "prepared to create an accountability framework connected to the historic multi-year funding agreement."The STF has previously said the funding announced is not guaranteed and the government could change its mind about it in the future.
