The BC School Trustees association is urging both sides to get a deal done.
It’s another day of one-day closures in parts of the province on Thursday  – including Kootenay Lake and Boundary.

She says if they can’t settle this month then they need to negotiate all summer if necessary.
She hopes her message – as a representative of every trustee in the province – will be heard.

Rezansoff – who is also chair of the Boundary School Board- says students are caught in the middle and should be kept, “out of the mix” as she puts it
