May 2019 AGM Educational Services Report
The Educational Services committee for 2018-2019 has had a year of discussions clarifying Joint Staff Development fund (JSD) procedures ($750 for contract teachers and $500 for OTs for courses or workshops/conferences) and rules governing members’ use of the Technology Enhancement Program (TEP). Here is a quick review of how TEP works:  $500 every 4 years, receipts in by end of April in a given school year, payout in May. This year, both funds have been well-used, and no changes have been made. Discussions continue into next year about OSSTF grants and awards and the future direction of the Kevin Manion Lecture Series.
