The government has reached a tentative employment agreement with Ontario’s 8,000 school principals and vice-principals, whose last deal expired a year and a half ago, just months into the COVID-19 pandemic.
The “memorandum of settlement,” between the province, principal groups representing public, French and Catholic administrators, and the four trustee associations still needs to be formally ratified.
No details about the agreement were released.
The new deal will “help provide stability and support continuity in learning for students across the province,” Education Minister Stephen Lecce said. “It will ensure principals and vice-principals can continue to focus on managing and staffing schools to support student achievement.”
Lecce said over the past two years, “principals and vice-principals have been on the front lines throughout this pandemic and I thank them for their leadership and commitment to students during this difficult and critical time.”
Principals and vice-principals are not unionized, but are voluntarily represented by the Ontario Principals’ Council, Catholic Principals’ Council of Ontario and Association des directions et directions adjointes des écoles francoontariennes.
In 2020, teachers’ unions ratified three-year provincial deals that provided a one per cent wage increase, in line with provincial public sector wage legislation. Those deals expire at the end of August.
The principals’ last agreement expired in August 2020.
