The Vancouver Association of Educational Support Professionals reached a tentative agreement on a new contract with Vancouver Public Schools on Friday evening, just minutes before the start of the holiday break.
Details on the settlement, which will affect secretaries, clerks and paraprofessionals, were not released. Superintendent Steve Webb said on Twitter that specifics will be announced following the union’s next general membership meeting, which is to be scheduled after the new year.
