2026-2027 Job Share/Job 
The deadline to apply for a job share or job exchange for the 2026-2027 school year is quickly approaching. Applications must be submitted to the School District Human Resources Department, no later than March 15th, 2026. 

Article E.30 in the Collective Agreement allows for two employees with continuing status to request permission to share a 1.0 position. This job-sharing position is good for one year, starting in September of 2026 and ending in June 2027, with the option to renew. 

In the past, a major challenge for teachers seeking a job share centred around finding a job share/exchange partner. The district will not help you in this endeavour. The ATU has created a system to assist you in finding someone who is a good fit. If you are looking for a job share/exchange partner, please fill out the ATU Job Share/Exchange Form and we will do the advertising for you.

Please email the forms to [email protected]

We do not disclose your name publicly. When advertising, we only publish the grade, subject(s), school, and the FTE you are willing to trade. Members interested in your position will need to contact the ATU.

The ATU will advertise Job Share information until March 15th, 2026, so get your forms in as soon as possible.
