The Toronto board said it will hire staff to input the grades and get the report cards in the mail.

Ontario’s largest teachers union, the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO), declared teachers would not enter electronic marks in a work-to-rule campaign against a plan to increase class sizes. Instead, some students were to be given placement letters indicating their new class in September.

Negotiations between the province’s teachers, the government and school boards have been at an impasse for months, with some local strikes ruled illegal last month.

The ETFO is asking for raises and other contract changes that amount to more than $3.2 billion, the provincial school boards say.
