A tentative agreement for a new contract has been reached between the Greater Essex County District School Board and the the Ontario Secondary Schools Teachers Federation.
School board officials say the deal was reached through a collaborative, and interest-based bargaining process representing the best outcome for both parties.
The OSSTF represents 52 Professional Student Services Personnel.
This group includes psychological associates, psychoeducational consultants, psychologists, social workers / attendance counsellors, Create Your Future advisors, speech pathologists, communicative disorders assistants, re-engagement attendance counsellors, FNMI student support workers and board-certified behaviour analysts.
The agreement, once ratified, will provide stability and security for both the employees and the board.
It's a four-year term, September 2022 - August 2026, but any details remain confidential until the agreement ratified by both parties.
