Committees at the local and provincial level, act as forums for the exchange of information and discussions on diverse subjects. Teacher representatives are expected to speak for their colleagues by contributing to the exchange of ideas at many different tables. These appointed spokespeople are to collaborate with the LTU Executive and Board of Directors and report back with important information or points discussed at their committee meetings.
LTU participates in many school board parity committees where important topics are addressed and the concerns of our members are considered. These committees include Educational Policies Committee, Parity on Special Needs, Labour Relations Committee and more.
LTU also has 2 internal standing committees where Teachers participate and coordinate with each other to help with the running of your Union. These committees are Nominations and Budget and Finance.
Finally, LTU appoints Teachers to participate in the QPAT committees allowing for our voices to be heard in a provincial setting. These committees include New Teachers, Membership Plans, Human Rights and Social Justice and many more.
Take a moment to read about the committees LTU is involved in and reach out to the Director of Pedagogical Affairs should you have any questions, they will be happy to respond to your inquiries.
