Rainbow Board and ETFO Occasional Teachers reach tentative agreement

Rainbow District School Board and the Federation representing elementary occasional teachers in Sudbury, Espanola and Manitoulin Island have reached a tentative agreement at the local level.

Elementary occasional teachers are represented by the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) Rainbow Local.

The new deal, if ratified, will be in effect from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2026, aligning with the provincial agreement at the central bargaining table.

“We commend the bargaining teams from the Board and the Federation for working together to achieve this tentative agreement at the local level,” said Rainbow District School Board Chair David Farrow. “Elementary occasional teachers ensure continuity of learning in our schools. They are valued members of our instructional team.”

“The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, Rainbow Occasional Teacher Local

is pleased that we were able to reach a tentative agreement with Rainbow District School Board,” said President Stacy Sullivan. “We look forward to presenting the tentative agreement at the local level to our membership for ratification.”
