SUDBURY—The Rainbow District School Board (RDSB) and the federation representing elementary occasional teachers in Sudbury, Espanola and Manitoulin Island have reached a tentative contract agreement at the local level.
Elementary school occasional teachers represent the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (ETFO) Rainbow Local.
The new deal, if ratified, will be in effect from September 1, 2022, to August 31, 2026, aligning with the provincial agreement at the central bargaining table.
“We commend the bargaining teams for the board and the federation for working together to achieve this tentative agreement at the local level,” said RDSB chair David Farrow. “Elementary occasional teachers ensure continuity of learning in our schools. They are valued members of our instructional team.”
“The (ETFO), Rainbow Occasional Local is pleased that we were able to reach a tentative agreement with (RDSB),” said President Stacy Sullivan. “We look forward to presenting the tentative agreement at the local levels to our membership for ratification.”
