MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
BETWEEN:
THE PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE SCHOOL DIVISION (the “Division”)
and
THE PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE TEACHERS’ ASSOCIATION (the “Association”)
REGARDING: Article 7.03 Administrative & Supervisory Allowances - Weighted Formula
The parties agree to undertake best efforts to negotiate new Administrative Allowances under Article 7 of the Collective Agreement, “Administrative & Supervisory Allowances”, during collective bargaining, which new article will not contain weighted formulas pertaining to types and/or levels of students. In the event that agreement is not reached in collective bargaining, either party may request that the dispute be referred to interest arbitration.
Subsequent to the above agreement to negotiate a new administrative allowance, the parties negotiated a new collective agreement (in an unprecedented expedited fashion as a result of a request by the Association due to emergent timelines associated with the legislative process for Bill 45 legislation), the parties agreed to a new collective agreement without having an opportunity to fulfill the conditions of this agreement.
Notwithstanding the new 2018-2022 collective agreement, the parties agree to put the commitment to review the administrative allowance into abeyance with the following caveats:
Should Bill 45 - The Public Schools Amendment and Manitoba Teachers’ Society Amendment Act which prescribes provincial teacher collective bargaining, and Bill 64 - The Education Modernization Act, be amended, not passed by legislature, be un-proclaimed, or quashed with the result being that the Division remains a school division and the employer of the Portage la Prairie Teachers’ Association and the parties negotiate a subsequent collective agreement, the parties will negotiate a new administrative allowance under the above original parameters as was originally agreed to by the parties.
