Teachers' strike: What happens if there's a full walkout?

With the rotating strike entering its third week, B.C. teachers are set to vote on Monday and Tuesday onwhether or not they want to escalate thejob action to a full walkout.

• B.C. teachers' strike and lockout: Schedule for week 3
• B.C. teachers' strike fund running out ahead of vote

Results of a strike vote are expected Tuesday night. The union is required to give three days notice before members walk off the job.

That means the earliest possible date for school closures across B.C. would be Monday, June 16and that could impact the last nine days of school

The B.C. Government issued a statement Sundayaddressed to parents of school-aged childrenexplaining that every effort will be made to ensure report cards and exams aren't impacted.

• B.C. teachers' strike: Will students' exams get marked?

"The Ministry of Education and the British Columbia Public SchoolEmployers Association (BCPSEA) want to assure parents that every effortis being made to ensure the strike does not disadvantage students, nordelay their transition to the next grade or on to post-secondary," the statement says.

What the full strike would mean forstudents inKindergarten up to Grade 9:

• Schools wouldbe closed.
• Parents should make child carearrangements, where required.
• Final report cards will be sent to parents, but written comments may be shorter than usual.

What the full strike would mean for students in Grades 10, 11 and 12:

• Secondary schools would likely only be open for the purposeof administering exams.
• Picket lines couldbe present outside schools.
• Students in rural areas may not havenormal school bus service.
• Provincial exams will be marked and final marks will be sent out in as timely a manner as possible.

The Ministry of Education says the BCPSEA has asked theLabour Relations Board to deem the workrequired for the completion of report cards as an essential service.

The ministry says "B.C. post-secondary institutions are aware there is a chance that thestrike might interfere with the normal flow of final student marks," but also says the potential delay won't affect many students planning to attend post-secondary programs in September, as most have already beenadmitted based on current marks.
