The chair of the Rainy River District School Board calls talk of a legislative settlement by the province for Ontario's teachers predictable.Education Minister Laurel Broten is first giving boards until the end of August a shot to come up with deals that includes a two-year wage freeze.
Chair Mike Lewis says whether the board can meet the Ministry's deadline is still to be determined.
Lewis says the board had already planned talks in September with the union representing high school teachers before the Minister's directive.
