Offers of Employment

IIn the event that the WRDSB makes an offer of employment, please be advised that it is the practice of the Board that your employment will not start until the Board has received a Vulnerable Sector Police Check and the Board is satisfied that there are no criminal convictions which would preclude your employment. The Board does not assume any costs associated with obtaining the documentation.

IIt is the expectation of the Board that you know and adhere to the rules of the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (TPP).
