Council Vacancy
French-language public board elementary or secondary
Invitation to apply
College members who are employed by a French-language public district school board, a public school authority that operates a French-language instructional unit, or the Provincial Schools Authority at Centre Jules-Léger are invited to apply to serve in a Council position that will become vacant in December 2011. The vacancy will occur because a Council member who was acclaimed will be unable to serve until the end of the Council’s term.
If you are selected by Council to serve
Your employer will be reimbursed for temporary replacement salary expenses incurred for time that you are engaged in College business. You will be directly reimbursed for travel and accommodation costs associated with Council and committee business.
You may submit an expression of interest if:

- you are employed as an elementary school teacher and hold the qualifications required to teach a course or class in the Primary or Junior division or in the first two years of the Intermediate division
- you are employed as a secondary school teacher and hold the qualifications required to teach a course or class in the last two years of the Intermediate division or in the Senior division
- you are employed in a French-language instructional unit (French-language instructional units do not include immersion programs)
- you are a full-time classroom teacher*
- you are available to participate in Council and committee meetings between December 2, 2011 and June 30, 2012 and you are not on a leave of absence for any reason other than illness, compassion, family or parental.

If you hold a position as an employee or appointed or elected director, official or member of the executive at the provincial level, or as a president at the local level, in the Association des enseignantes et des enseignants franco-ontariens, the Ontario Teachers’ Federation or the Ontario Ministry of Education, you may apply.
