We are pleased to announce that the Ontario Secondary School Teacher’s Federation (OSSTF/FEESO) reached a tentative agreement at the Support Staff central bargaining table on Friday, November 27, with the Government of Ontario and the Council of Trustee’s Associations, representing Ontario school boards.

This tentative agreement impacts the Educational Support Staff/Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (ESS/OSSTF) and the Custodial and Maintenance Association/Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (CAMA/OSSTF) at the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB).

As a result of sanctions being lifted, planning for and staffing of our schools and scheduling of overtime activities that cover weekend rentals has returned to normal.

As a result of the above, ALL weekend Community Use of Schools, weekend Rental Permits, and weekend school bookings in our school sites will be reinstated beginning Saturday December 5, 2015 for those groups with permits that have not found alternate accommodations.

If Community Groups wish to cancel their weekend booking without penalty, please contact the Rentals Department by Thursday December 3, 2015 by noon to allow adequate notice to scheduled staff.
