Hiring for Permanent and LTO Assignments Next Year ?
We know that members are anxious about hiring for positions with TVDSB next school year, but with the Government's extension to the timeline for families to indicate if they want virtual learning or in person classes, hiring for permanent positions in TVDSB is not expected to take place until the end of June.
The Board is still working on a process to hire the hundreds of LTOs needed for September. With the repeal of Regulation 274, we do know that the LTO List and the Seniority Lists are longer part of the criteria.
TVOT members will still have priority over new hires for these positions, as provided by our Collective Agreement. You can be assured that the Local and the Board will let members know about the process once it has been finalized.
