Welcome back!

Welcome back from what I hope was a restful holiday for all the Clairlea families and staff. Happy new year!

As you will have seen in the news last week, the Ontario government has imposed a contract on the Ontario elementary school teachers. It expires on August 2014. The government has also said it will appeal the controversial Bill 115 which gave it the power to impose a contract and prevent further strikes. According to this Globe and Mail article, ETFO president Sam Hammond has said that it will not be "business as usual" when classes resume today. I'm not sure exactly what this means, but it will no doubt be discussed at the next school council meeting, on Wednesday January 16.*
