A tentative agreement has been reached between supply teachers with the Association des enseignantes et enseignants franco-ontariens de l'Ontario - and the Conseil scolaire du Grand Nord.
On Oct. 25, the bargaining committees agreed on a four-year tentative agreement retroactive to Sept. 1, 2022.
“I'm delighted with this new agreement, which will benefit our board's supply teachers,” said Board Chair Anne-Marie Gélineault in a news release.
“We want our supply teachers to be happy, so that they can continue to provide students with a stimulating learning environment and contribute to the success of all our schools.”
Ratification is expected within the next few weeks.
