LTO Interviews and 2013 Spring General Meeting and Elections

LTO Interviews:
Some members have already received an email on First Class with the time and date of their group interview for the LTO List.  With so many eligible members, these invitations to interview will continue into early June so be sure to regularly check your account and RSVP to confirm you will attend.
Remember, part-time permanent Teachers and those who were successfully interviewed for a LTO position this year or last year, will automatically be placed on the list.
The legislation is very clear that an OT must have been an elementary OT with the Board for at least 10 teaching months and have worked at least 20 days to be eligible.  Those who were in assignments that became unposted LTOs are eligible for interview if they have met the previous 2 criteria.
Annual Spring Meeting:
We are looking forward to seeing everyone who has registered for tomorrow evening's dinner and meeting including elections, being held at the Best Western Lamplighter Inn from 4:30 - 7:30 PM.   This is a very important meeting to attend as you will have a say in and be introduced to your new Executive.  The President's position is not up for election this year-
Book Rebates:
On another note, we have received several requests for Book Rebates this past week.  The membership voted to discontinue these at last year's Annual Meeting when it became apparent that we would face declining fees as a result of the loss of work that Bill 115 would cause.  Hopefully we will be able to restore this program in the future.
