English Catholic school teachers ratify new deal with the province

The Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association says their 45,000 Catholic-teacher members ratified the agreement on central terms for a new contract.OECTA President René Jansen in de Wal released this statement following the ratification:

Throughout the process, Catholic teachers made it clear that they would do whatever it takes to stand up for students and publicly funded education, and we want to thank our Catholic teacher-members, as well as the students and families we serve, for their patience and support in reaching a deal. The issues addressed, among others, include: better reporting and access to information to address increasing violence in schools; improving the resources and supports for student mental health and special education; and ensuring Catholic teachers in elementary and secondary schools receive the preparation and planning time they need, which has proven time and again to be critical in allowing teachers to best support student learning.
