On July 24, 2012 school board directors of education received a memo from the Ministry of Education outlining a funding framework for local bargaining and an expectation that such bargaining will be completed by August 31, 2012, the date the current collective agreements end.

This direction was certainly a surprise to me, and I suspect that it was not anticipated by most senior administrators and local union presidents, many of whom take their vacations in the summer.
The framework is based on the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Ministry of Education and the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Federation on July 5, 2012, something which also caught me and probably others by surprise.
The education sector, which is generally considered to be quiet in July, is proving to be quite dynamic - I wonder what August will bring?
