The four-year agreement allows for the following salary increases:

  • September 1, 2012 – 0 per cent
  • September 1, 2013 – 0 per cent
  • September 1, 2014 – 0.06 per cent
  • September 1, 2015 – 2.0 per cent

“Our board is pleased with the agreement we have reached with our teachers,” says Board Chair Sarah Hoffman. “This agreement will provide our District and our teachers with stability over the coming years, so we can continue the important work of teaching and learning,” says Hoffman.
