Letter #5 – Interpretation of Articles 9 and 13
MEMORANDUM
TO: ALL BOARD CHAIRPERSONS
RE: INTERPRETATION OF ARTICLES 9 AND 13 OF THE NLTA COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT
FROM: Tracy King, Deputy Minister, Department of Education
DATE: February 1, 2024
It has come to my attention that there may be some confusion regarding the interpretation placed on the above referred Articles. In situations where redundancies occur, it is my interpretation that Article 9 – Layoffs, should be used to effect any reassignments. Article 13 – Transfer of Teachers, should be utilized in other situations where transfers are required.
Yours truly,
Tracy King
Deputy Minister
Department of Education
cc: District Directors
