Strengthening our Organization:
- PSTA Constitution (2026) has been approved by the STF Executive. The Executive will be continuing to review the Constitution and Policies and Guidelines documents this year for further changes.
- Governance Review
- A STF Local Association grant has been applied for to assist with costs.
- Governance will be providing a proposal regarding the business portion of the AGM at the November Representative Assembly based on feedback from schools. Nearly 80% of our schools provide feedback to the AGM questions.
- The governance committee developed a year plan and will be looking at elections next. Proposed changes will come to SSLs at the Representative Assembly and brought back to schools for feedback.
- A membership list of all teachers on contract with non-work email has been created. This allows the PSTA to communicate with all members. We are still working on obtaining the email addresses of all Prairie Spirit substitute teachers.
