More schools have been contacting parents about possible disruption because of strike action by a teaching union.
Yesterday, 3FM reported Castle Rushen High School had contacted parents about the industrial action.
Today, parents have been in touch with letters from Ramsey Grammar School and Ballakermeen High School as well as an email from QEII High School in Peel.
Both use strikingly similar phrases, including: “As the scale of this strike action has not been confirmed to the Department it is difficult for schools to contingency plan. As such planning for the first two dates is being carried out on a worst-case scenario basis so please prepare for the possibility that students may be asked to remain at home on those days.”
The first two strikes over pay and conditions are due to be held on November 30 and December 1.
These are the messages sent to parents:
