It's been a long time since I last blogged so welcome back to info-land. March Break is fast approaching and I'm sure we are all longing for it to get here quickly. There seems to be more stress in our teaching careers than I can ever remember, so it will certainly be a needed break.
ATE EasyConnect has been a troublesome start up for all Union groups, but significantly more of a problem for Occasional teachers, Elementary and Secondary. We have held their feet to the fire per say for coding fixes (patches) and they have complied, albeit, not at a rapid pace whatsoever. We have been sending out data on changes throughout the year and info is in the newsletter that went out the week of Feb. 18. Hopefully you are getting used to it by now, but there are still embedded problems. Hopefully ATE will resolve these sooner than later.
Work has been fairly steady and LTOs are up +9% over last year at this time. Casual day assignments remain about the same as last year.
Reg 274 has been adhered to with fewer hiring issues than ever this year.
Remember, spring is in the air, so we at least can look forward to longer days and more sunshine ahead.
