For more information, please contact Ruth Dawson (rdawson@etfo.org) or Jane Bennett (jbennett@etfo.org) or Joanne Myers (jmyers@etfo.org) at the ETFO provincial office.

Postings for Permanent Positions
It is our understanding that permanent teaching positions will be posted next week in First Class under "Job Postings" and will remain open over the Canada Day weekend.  This means that those who need to finish their LTO assignment on June 30th to be eligible for permanent hire (by the Board's interpretation) will have that weekend to apply for positions for which they are qualified.

PD Day on June 30th
For those LTOs with a posted end date of June 30th, the expectation is that you will attend school that day according to your FTE and you will be paid grid rate.  Please call the OT Office if you have any questions regarding your specific situation.
