Background Information:

PSSP PD FUNDS
NEGOTIATED IN 2004-2008 COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT

PSSP D12 Members:

At the January 23, 2006 general meeting the membership decided that the Professional Development Funds recently provided by the Ministry of Education should be held in a reserve account and used to support group professional development events arranged by the bargaining unit for PSSP members and approved by the executive.

On February 20, 2006 the PSSP Executive decided that ¾ of the money received will be used to support and enhance our annual PD day – as was most recently held on February 10, 2006.

The executive also decided that ¼ of the money would be used for approved group PD arising from Ad-Hoc requests by the membership. The details of this arrangement are as follows:

The PD Event must be approved by the PSSP Executive.

The minimum number of members involved in the event must be 6.

No member will receive more than their share of the dedicated funding.

Applications for funding must be received prior to August 31, 2008

The total to be recieved is to be $200,000. We have a full-time equivalent (FTE) membership of approximately 550 members. So the amount of money available for these Ad-Hoc PD events is (200,000X .25) / 550, or $91 per member.
