The OT Roster and LTO List
The Board will be posting both the updated OT Roster and the updated LTO List on Friday, May first. Remember that your seniority number is the same on both lists - you are slotted in accordingly on the LTO List if you are eligible then the 5 most senior of those who apply with the proper qualifications, are granted LTO interviews.
Bargaining Update
As the ETFO Bargaining Bulletins have stated, the meeting with OPSBA, the government and conciliator on April 17 was unsuccessful. Subsequently, ETFO has received a "no board" report from the Minister of Labour for the Teacher and Occasional Teacher central bargaining table. Teacher Stewards will be holding school meetings for all ETFO members (Teachers, LTOs and daily Occasional Teachers who are in the school that day) on May 8th so be sure to attend for an update since we are all affected by these negotiations. As of May 10th, ETFO will be in a legal strike position but that does not necessarily mean a full withdrawal of services. As this unfolds, please do not react to rumours or media reports and contact your Local for further information.

Building Better Schools
ETFO has a vision for improved public elementary education in Ontario. Extending the benefits of smaller classes to all elementary grades and providing additional classroom support for students with special needs is particularly important.
