Local Board Not All That Happy With Teachers Deal
Last week's deal between the Province and Elementary Catholic teachers is getting a luke-warm response from the Northwest District Catholic School Board.
Education Director Mary Catherine Kelly says the deal came as a surprise to her, noting that the Ontario Catholic School Trustees Association, which represents Catholic Board, wasn't even consulted on the deal.
Report suggest the Association withdrew from negotiations the night before the deal was reached.
Kelly says they'll move forward on the contract they maybe didn't want, but wants to see more details.
