Message
from the President:
Welcome back to another school year in Simcoe County. Please try to attend
our General Meetings so that you may participate in the professional life
of your Federation... the dates are listed on the "Dates" page
of this website. Our new Professional Development workshops are also listed
on this site, along with on-line registration.
It has been a difficult time with declining enrollment and the redundant
teacher situation; however, LTO positions are still being posted and will
continue to be posted as positions become available. I suggest that members
visit the Board website frequently for updates.
(http://scdsb.on.ca/about-us/career-opportunities/job-postings/#TeachingPositions).
Just a reminder that Application packages will
no longer be accepted by the Principal, but through the ATE
website at: www.applytoeducation.com
Your bargaining team has worked hard on your behalf to negotiate many
gains to the new Collective Agreement and we encourage all members to
help ensure that the new Agreement is enforced. To that end, should you
encounter any infractions, please do not hesitate to contact me or any
of the Local's Executive for their advice and action. ( The new Collective
Agreement is on the Home page under the menu button marked "Contract".)
Your local delegates to this year's ETFO Annual General Meeting (AGM)
are happy to report that they were pleased to represent you, voting on
resolutions that not only advanced the good of the Federation as a whole,
but also you as an Occasional Teacher.
A highlight of this year's AGM was the awarding of an Honourary Lifetime
Membership Award to our Past President Bob Blackwood. I feel confident
that you would all like to take this opportunity, along with me, to congratulate
Bob on this momentous occasion.
If
there is any way in which I may help you, please don't hesitate to call
me at:
705.429.6463 (office) or 705.715.1359 (cell)
Yours in Federation,
Skip Reeves, President S.C.E.O.T.
