Public board reaches tentative agreement with support staff

Another tentative deal is in place for the Greater Essex County District School Board and one of its bargaining groups.

The board announced Thursday morning that it had reached a tentative agreement with educational support staff represented by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF) District 9.

The agreement covers 854 OSSTF District 9 members who work as early childhood educators, child and youth workers, educational assistants, developmental services workers, SWDHHs, and Tier 3 support staff.

Once approved, the agreement goes into effect through August 31, 2026. Terms have not been disclosed.

It's the third tentative deal reached in a week between the English-language public board and OSSTF District 9. Agreements are up for ratification with high school teachers and occasional high school teachers.
