TEBA Lockout Vote
For now, there is no disruption to learning or any changes to normal operations. All RVS schools and facilities remain open, and classes and planned activities are continuing as normal. Community use continues to be available for booking RVS facilities.
School boards have voted to provide the TEBA (Teachers’ Employers Bargaining Association) Board of Directors authority to engage in a lockout if necessary.
This vote provides Alberta school boards with the ability to protect students and communities if the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) initiates a work stoppage. It does not provide individual school boards with the authority to initiate a lockout. Negotiations between the ATA and the province continue.
RVS highly values all our 3,000+ staff and the contributions they make to student success. We respect the bargaining process and remain hopeful that the provincial government and the ATA reach a negotiated settlement. We are committed to keeping families and staff informed and will share updates through our website, email and other communication channels as more information becomes available.
