Dear Mr. Martindale,
Re: Letter of Understanding – Other Matters not for inclusion in the Collective Agreement
1. Preparation Time
The Division shall ensure that each teacher shall receive their preparation time as provided for in the collective agreement. Teachers who are required by the school to give up portions of this preparation time to attend to other matters shall be provided time to make up for the lost time.
2. MTS Short Term Disability Plan
In the event the WTA membership decides by referendum to participate in the MTS Short Term Disability Plan, the Division is prepared, with sufficient time to implement, to facilitate the deduction and remittance of the plan premiums and add a letter of understanding with the standard wording of the Short Term Disability Plan.
Dated this 23rd day of February, 2016.
