Oct. 7th 2026 LTO Pay, Help Needed, PD, and More!

 

Wed Oct. 6th, 2026

 

LTO PAY UPDATE

The Board has reached out to say they hope to have LTO forms processed for the Oct. 16th, 2026 pay. They had a vacancy in OT staffing and are trying to catch up. I will be discussing the impact on Occasional Teachers. Many of you expressed concerns of: no notice, impact on budgeting, tax, access to sick leave, access to software, etc.

 

 

 Many LTOs were posted as contracts during reorg. Were you given  notice for an end date of for your LTO? If you feel you were not given any end date notice please e-mail the Local at: etfotvot@gmail.com

Together, we will explore practical ways to engage students, interact with them, and incorporate French in authentic and meaningful ways, even if you are at the beginning stages of your own French language learning journey. Please note that this session is a repeat of the 2025-2026 offering.
