The Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington (PVNC) Catholic District School Board is seeking consultation on the renewal of its Directional Policy 500 - Employee Relations

This Directional Policy is up for renewal as part of the Board’s regular policy review schedule.

Purpose:

• The purpose of the Employee Relations Policy is to create a shared understanding of the expectations the Board has with respect to employees’ conduct in their professional and personal lives as it relates to public trust and confidence. Administrative Procedures that articulate the expectations and requirements the Board has of its employees are intended outcomes of this policy.

Directional policies signal the major intentions and priorities of the elected board. They are few in number and broad in scope. Directional policies signal long-term institutional commitments to student achievement and well-being, to values, and to fairness.

Administrative procedures, which are a mechanism to implement the policies of the elected board, are specific, detailed and focused and must align with the directional policy under which they sit.

The following administrative procedures support Directional Policy 500 - Employee Relations and can be viewed here.

• PVNC Administrative Procedure 501 - Employee Charged with a Criminal Offence or Under Investigation by a Third Party
• PVNC Administrative Procedure 502 - Employee Involvement in Election to Public Office
