With one week before the end of the school year, the local public school board has come to a tentative deal with its elementary teachers.
Officials with the Lambton Kent District School Board and the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario have reached an agreement.
Details of the new contract will be released once it has been ratified by both sides.
“We are very pleased to announce that we have reached a tentative agreement with the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario Lambton Kent Teacher Local,” said Chair Randy Campbell. “The Elementary Teaching staff and their commitment to our student’s achievement and well-being is recognized and so appreciated.”
The public board has already ratified new agreements with its occasional elementary teachers as well as permanent and occasional teacher members of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, District 10.
