As The Press reported, more than 100 teachers and support staff are set to go on strike at All Saints RC secondary school and St George's RC primary in Fishergate.
They are National Education Union (NEU) members and will go out on strike on Wednesday next week (April 30) with further strikes planned on Tuesday and Wednesday June 24 and 25.
They say it is over issues they have with financial management at the Middlesbrough academy chain to which the schools now belong - Nicholas Postgate Catholic Academy Trust (NPCAT).
NPCAT say that it’s too early to say how many staff will be involved.
A spokesperson said: “Individual head teachers will make a decision on whether to close their schools and will inform parents and carers accordingly.”
An independent bishop-led investigation into the behaviour of the trust CEO, Hugh Hegarty has been on-going since last Autumn.
The move follows planned strike action at All Saints RC in October last year being called off.
