This will be the  first round of talks  in this dispute in several weeks.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender had asked the teachers to suspend their strike for  two weeks, and the Province will lift the lockout while Ready  works with the two sides to  try and reach an agreement.

Fassbender has  gone on record  as  saying  the government has no  plan to legislate an end to the dispute.

Classes are  scheduled to resume on September 3rd in School District 57.
