NBTA president Connie Keating said the Policy 713 LGBTQ2 inclusion review is a distraction from the real issues plaguing the school system like the chronic shortage of teachers.
The New Brunswick Teachers' Association says it has yet to be approached for input on the review of Policy 713 by the Higgs government, which is scheduled to be completed by the first week of June.
The New Brunswick Teachers' Association will initiate a 100-day deadline, beginning May 20, if a deal is not reached with the government threatening the 2023 school year.
