NUMBER 29 - FEBRUARY 23, 2013
Voluntary and Extracurricular Activities

 

ETFO members are advised that ETFO's position regarding voluntary activities remains the same.  As stated on the ETFO Provincial Takeover Bulletin regarding voluntary/extra-curricular activities issued in January, ETFO's Executive will be reviewing this position prior to March 1st.  The results of that review will be communicated to ETFO members as soon as they become available. 

Government Discussions:  Update
 

President Sam Hammond and representatives of ETFO have participated in a number of discussions with representatives of the government and school boards.  ETFO's representatives at these meetings include President Hammond, First Vice-President Susan Swackhammer, and ETFO's General Secretary, Deputy General Secretary, and Coordinator of Protective Services.

 

Thus far, these discussions have been positive and respectful.  ETFO looks forward to participating in further talks with the provincial government in order to achieve concrete solutions to outstanding issues.

 

ETFO will continue to update members on these talks.
