Memorandum of Understanding Between
the Board of Trustees of the Prairie Spirit School Division
and the Prairie Spirit Teachers’ Association

e.g. When a teacher eligible for adoptive/parental leave, in accordance with the collective agreement, applies and does take the full 2 weeks plus 8 weeks they shall receive 50 days of adoptive/parental “top-up” benefit.
Further, the Division will implement said administration of this article effective September 1st , 2011.
