Tuesday Tip: HDEAA Critical Path

Each year the HDSB uses a critical path method to identify Collective Agreement steps that must be completed for the school year. These staffing actions are to be completed by specific dates as outlined in the path.

The HDEAA critical path can be found here.

Important upcoming dates according to our CRITICAL PATH:
