Talks to reach a local contract for public elementary school teachers in Hastings-Prince Edward resume this week.
The negotiations are still necessary even though the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario accepted the province’s final contract offer earlier this month, and school boards have until March 31st to finish local bargaining.
Hastings-Prince Edward School Board Official Kerry Donnell says contract talks for the seven-hundred full time teachers will resume tomorrow, and continue on Monday and Tuesday, while those for the occasional elementary teachers will be held this Friday.
Local contract negotiations for elementary school teachers with the Kawartha-Pine Ridge and Limestone School Boards will also continue in an effort to reach an agreement.
