THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2012 THE NEW TANNER 3 Halton District School Board monitors reaction to legislation "Putting Students First" legislation raises concerns within educational employee groups The provincial government's passage of the Putting Students First, 2012 legislation on September 11, will impact working conditions for teachers and educational staff. The Halton District School Board is responding to the government's implementation plans for the legislation, and is monitoring the impact on collective agreements with teachers and other educational workers. This legislation has generated concern amongst educational staff, parents and students. Halton District School Board's secondary teachers recently attended an information meeting to learn more about the impacts of the legislation. The provincial elementary teachers' union has asked elementary teachers to consider "taking a pause" with respect to voluntary activities they undertake in schools. "The safety of our students and the integrity of the instructional day continue to be a priority for all Halton District School Board staff," says David Euale, Director of Education for the Halton District School Board. "We appreciate our teachers' commitment to the instructional needs of our students, and their efforts to-date to keep this issue out of the classroom as they seek ways to express their concerns." "It is clear the teachers' unions have serious concerns about the legislation and the effect it will have on their terms and conditions of employment," says Don Vrooman, Chair of the Halton District School Board. "In Halton, we enjoy a positive relationship with our unions," continues Vrooman. "We look forward to keeping those lines of communication open as we work through the legislation and its implementation." Additional information regarding the impact of this legislation and its implementation will be shared publicly as it becomes available.
