Support staff collective bargaining
For support staff collective bargaining, boards of education bargain directly with their union locals at the school district level. To support local negotiations, the K-12 Presidents’ Council and Support Staff Unions bargains with BCPSEA at the provincial level to develop a Provincial Framework Agreement. This agreement in principle deals with key province-wide matters, including compensation. The Provincial Framework Agreement traditionally forms part of the memoranda of settlement negotiated at the school district level.
All current support staff collective agreements in the K-12 public education sector are for the term July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2025.
