The Local has reached an agreement with the Board to establish trial Recurring OT assignments at several schools to provide consistent coverage when designated Teachers in Charge (TICs) cover for their Principals at Principal meetings.

Successful applicants will receive right of first refusal for qualifying TIC absences. Where multiple teachers are identified as acting TICs at a school, the assignment may cover absences for any of those teachers. All assignments will be awarded based on Occasional Teacher seniority, provided applicants hold at least one of the qualifications specified in the posting. If the successful applicant is unavailable, the absence will be filled through EasyConnect as usual.

These assignments cover TIC-related absences only; other absences, such as illness or sports-related absences, will continue to be filled through EasyConnect.

Recurring OT assignments are not LTO assignments. Holding one does not prevent members from applying for or accepting LTO positions.

The trial arrangement will remain in effect until June 30, 2027. Members are encouraged to contact the Local Office with any questions or feedback.
