A four-year agreement between Local Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (ETFO) members and the Near North District School Board has been ratified.
The deal covers the period from Sept. 1, 2022, to Aug. 31, 2026.
“We are pleased that our members have ratified a local four-year agreement with Near North District School Board that reflects our commitment to providing high-quality education while ensuring fair and improved working conditions for our dedicated members,” says Rob Hammond, Near North Teacher Local President.
A central agreement was previously ratified provincially on Dec. 19, 2023.
“The Board is grateful to members of the negotiation teams that have worked to achieve this collective agreement,” says Ashley St. Pierre, NNDSB Chair. “Having the agreement ratified means that elementary teachers can continue the valuable work they do with our youngest learners.”
In a release, Craig Myles, Director of Education says he’s appreciative of the effort that has gone into the ratification, and he looks forward to continuance of the important work of elementary teachers and their vital work for students.
