Award of Distinction
This annual award was established by our Trustees to honour individuals
across the District who have made a positive and significant contribution to public education. These dedicated individuals
may include staff, arents, volunteers, administrators, students and community members. The selection criteria is based
on the Board’s Foundation Principles. Committee members have the responsibility of reviewing the nominations and ensuring
the selection process is consistent. Over the years there have been many AAPSP members nominated and presented with
this Award.
Members: C. Blewett
Education Week
Each year (usually in April), the Board celebrates Education week. In
preparation for this event, an AAPSP epresentative sits on the Education Week Committee. The committee helps define the scope
and theme of the week as well as assist in Education Week activities.
Members: J. Rake
Job Evaluation
All positions
within the AAPSP have been through a job evaluation process. The Job Evaluation Committee is responsible for the ongoing maintenance
of the Job Evaluation Plan. The Committee is made up of both Management and AAPSP representatives. When a new position is
created, or an existing position changes, the committee will review the position description and then rank it relative to
all other AAPSP positions. Once done, the findings of the Committee will be used to place the position in the appropriate
Job Category and pay grid.
Members: R. Kamphus, P. Hicks
Mutual Concerns
Members: Executive & Negotiation Representatives
Negotiations Committee
The primary function of the Negotiations Committee is to act as the group responsible for negotiating our memorandum of Agreement. This Agreement is essentially our working contract with the Board. The Negotiating Committee solicits the membership for ideas for modifications to our Agreement and then, negotiates them with the Board. Our Agreement typically runs for a term of three years. The negotiations process may take as long as a year. Once complete, the Committee presents the Agreement to the Membership for approval and then makes sure copies of the Agreement are available to the membership (see your employee portal or (http://www.aapsp.org/). The committee is always looking for ideas in which to improve our Agreement with the Board. Please feel free to send ideas to any committee members.Members: R. Kamphus, G. Keathley
Social Committee
The Social Committee is one of the most active committees in AAPSP. Each year, the committee
organizes various social events for members (and often their families) to participate in. Not only are these events fun, but
they can be instrumental in team development and great for workplace spirit. Events have included a Children’s Christmas
Party, Ice Skating, Wine Tours, Night at the Races, and Professional Development. If you are new to AAPSP, attending a social
event is a great way to get to know your coworkers.
Members: S. Slaney, K. Nuckowski, W. Allen, B. Mitchell
United Way
The TVDSB annual United Way Campaign is a true reflection of our commitment to our community. We support the United
Way agencies of London/Middlesex, Oxford and Elgin counties and the many community agencies hey serve. We know how important
many of these services are to our students, families and staff. Being part of this committee gives members an opportunity
to develop a theme, goal, and campaign plan for this District wide initiative.
Members: J. Rake, J. Marlborough
