Thousands of students will not be in class on Wednesday as another round of rotating teachers’ strikes hits Saskatchewan schools.

This follows the first round of rotating strikes last week that affected the Saskatchewan River Public School Division, Prince Albert Catholic School Division, Living Sky and Horizon School Divisions.

Wednesday’s strikes involve schools in Saskatoon, Warman, Creighton and the Northern Lights School Division.

Rallies are scheduled to take place throughout these divisions on Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Northern Area Teachers Association will be holding demonstrations at the following locations.
