Rotating strikes had been planned by English Catholic teachers starting Monday but were cancelled after the parties agreed to resume negotiations that day. That means Ottawa Catholic School Board schools will probably remain open Tuesday, the day the strike was to hit that board.

The union representing teachers at French-language school boards has bargaining dates later this week and has not announced any strikes.
