The Grande Prairie Public School Division and the GPPSD Employee’s Association have ratified a new four-year agreement, which will take effect from September 1st, 2024, through August 31st, 2028.

According to the division, the agreement marks a “significant milestone” in the partnership between the GPPSD and its non-instructional staff members, as it reinforces their shared commitment to supporting students.

The agreement outlines several priorities, such as fair wages and other settlements related to more specific employees. The agreement includes a 12 per cent deal over the next four years, with employees receiving a three per cent bump each year, retroactive to September 1st of last year.
