1. SAFE TRAVEL TO CONVENTION ON WINTER ROADS

Please make plans to travel safely to the North Central Teachers’ Convention Teachers this Thursday and Friday.

If you are not able to make it to your assigned convention, your collective agreement may include impassable roads or inclement weather clauses that could be accessed. If your collective agreement does not include language specific to road conditions or weather, you may make use of the personal leave clauses of your agreement in most cases. Please be aware that using any of these types of leave may require you to pay substitute costs, forego a portion of your salary and benefits, or report to your school or another work location in your district. Refer to your collective agreement for more information.

Should you require any additional information or if you need assistance interpreting your collective agreement, please contact the Association’s Teacher Welfare Duty Officer at 1-800-232-7208 or 780-447-9400.
