Members had taken part in work-to-rule strike action, which has now been suspended in light of the deal, the union said in a news release.

“All work to rule sanctions will end immediately,” TCDSB’s director of education, Dr. Brendan Browne, and chair, Angela Kennedy, said in a statement sent to Global News.

“TCDSB appreciates the patience and support of our families, students and staff throughout this time and we look forward to a return to normal school operations.”

The union thanked teachers for their “support and advocacy” during negotiations.

The deal must now be ratified by elementary teachers who have been without a contract since August 2019.
