Good news in the local education sector.
The region’s public school board has reached tentative contract agreements with the provincial union representing its high school teachers, educational support staff and student services personnel.
The Avon Maitland District school board released the information late last week.
The President of the OSSTF local bargaining unit, Carrie de Graaf says the tentative agreement means teachers, students and the community can feel confident that the supports students need will be there.
The tentative agreements, if ratified, would complete the local portion of the two-pronged contract talks, as per the School Board Collective Bargaining Act. The central portion of the agreement is currently in the provincial arbitration process.
