Focus Group Opportunity:
Just to let members know that ETFO Provincial is working with NOW Communications and Viewpoints Research to conduct focus group sessions on ETFO "branding" in London on October 29th.  ETFO members will be randomly selected from our membership database of Thames Valley members.  If you are contacted, we urge you to accept this opportunity - your input will be greatly valued!

New Grid for LTOs:
To find the new grid for LTOs log in to the TVDSB Employee Portal and from the top, select Organizational Support Services > Human Resources > Teaching Staff - Elementary (from the side panel) > Collective Agreements > MOU - Elementary Equalization Grid for September 2014.
To find the daily rate, divide the annual salary shown on the grid.  This figure includes the 4% vacation pay.
