Prince George, B.C.- School District 57  Superintendent Brian Pepper says  while schools  in the district will be open  Monday, Tuesday Wednesday.

In an open letter to parents (  which can be viewed at www.sd57.bc.ca )

 Pepper says   the School District has received  information from "undisclosed, unconfirmed sources"  that "some kind of information or picket line may be in place at each school to  distribute  information to incoming workers.  My fear  is that such an action may, inadvertently cause unionized workers to return home rather than come to work.  I am sharing this because it has significant implications for student  safety."

Pepper says  the front door of each school will remain  open, but there will be  no instruction program provided for students "Any student who arives at school will be given  access to a warm, secure room while principals make contact with parents/guardians or emergency contacts to arrange safe passage home .   We strongly suggest that you consider making alternate  care arrangements for your child, as we are worried about our ability to provide adequate supervision for those students who arrive at school.  That said, we will definitely do our best." 

Superintendent Pepper says there will be no bus transportation Monday  or Tuesday and that  parents will be informed Monday  via the school district’s website about transpsortation arrangements for Wednesday and beyond.
