Catholic Board teachers layoff
Contrary to some media reports the Board will not be
cutting staff by 20 per cent
MIDDLESEX- On March 12,
the London and Middlesex Roman
Catholic School Board announced
that redundancy notices had been
issued to 98 teachers to be effec-
tive August 31. The issuing of
these notices was not related to the
current budgetary challenges being
faced by the Board. The notices
were a result of staffing require-
ments identified in the 1996 Pre-
liminary Expenditure Estimates
and considered the number of re-
turning staff who had been on
leaves of absence, long term disa-
bilities, sick leaves and other ap-
proved leaves.
At its regular Board meeting
March 25, the Catholic Board ap-
proved issuing layoff notices to an-
other 97 teaching. staff. Thirty-
seven of these notices are not relat-
c mires& challenges •1,.
hg the
wffot'number of staf
–r 16rntgg from leaves of absence,
long term disabilities, sick leaves
and other approved leaves and en-
fulment figures for September
1996. The total in this phase of the
layoff notices is 135, but the board
will not be cutting these positions,
instead could be filling the posi-
tions with staff scheduled for re-
turn from the various leave op-
tions.
The remaining 60 of the 195 no-
tices are being issued as a result of
the potential revenue shortfalls
facing the board because of Provin-
cial Funding cutbacks. When final
revenues from the Ministry of Edu-
cation and Training are known, the
Board of Trustees will consider a
number of options for saving dol-
lars. Some of these options include
consideration of the future of Jun-
ior Kindergarten and the continua-
tion of French as a Second Lan-
guage education in Grades 1-3.
Once all the calculations have been
made and decisions on programs fi-
nalized, a more exact determination
of staff requirements will be ren-
dered.
The Board must issue these no-
tices prior to April 1 pursuant to
the terms of the Collective Agree-
ment in place with its teachers,
who are members of OECTA (On-
tario English Catholic Teachers'
qP)y ' .': r; AFRO (Associa-.
,.,. et des Ensejig;
'nantes Franco-Oi'tariens). In issu-
ing the redundancy notices the
Board considered the worst case
scenario and is notifying the maxi-
mum number of teachers that po-
tentially could be affected by
changes.
The exact number of teachers
who will be recalled cannot be de-
termined until it is clear how many
current teachers will retire and how
many staff currently on approved
leaves and scheduled to return Sep-
tember I, will actually return. This
area affects 135 of the 195 teaching
staff issued or to be issued notices.
The other 60 positions must await
the final approval of the 1996 bud-
get before determination can he
made on how many will he re-
called.
