I can't speak for the school boards, but I do know that teacher organizations are very interested in maintaining positive working relationships with the school boards in their provinces and territories, and also with their ministries of education and their governments. If we can work together to identify the issues that need to be addressed, then seek solutions together and work on achieving them together, then that to me is the most effective way of getting things to happen and getting things to change in a positive way.
