RCSTA Roles
Assembly Reps
Our constitution stipulates that each school is entitled to one assembly rep for every 25 teachers. Assembly reps represent their school at the monthly RCSTA meeting, connecting their school to the RCSTA. Assembly reps share, provide ideas, and directions to the RCSTA Executive and Councilors.
Councilors
The allotted amount of STF councilors is dependent on school division size. Currently the RCSTA is allotted 13 councilors. All elected Executive members also serve as councilors. Additionally, the RCSTA has two additional councilors who are not on the Executive. Councilors attend STF Fall and Spring Council as representatives of the RCSTA.
Executive
The Executive meets once a month (occasionally more) to review and determine RCSTA priorities, goals, and address teacher concerns. The Executive is to serve as a liaison between teachers and the school division, representing the collective teacher voice. As part of their role, Executive members also attend assembly meetings.
The elected Executive is comprised of:
- President
-Vice-President
- Executive members (8)
- LINC Chair
The unelected or administrative portion of the Executive is comprised of:
-Substitute teacher rep
-RCAA rep
- Secretary
-Treasure
President
The President is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the RCSTA, which include:
-handling individual teacher questions or concerns
-official spokesperson for the RCSTA when dealing with outside organizations
- managing the Professional Development Fund
-sitting on RCSTA committees
- communicate and laisse with STF staff and the school division
-prepare agenda's for Executive and Assembly Meetings
Vice-President
The Vice-President must be prepared to assume all duties of the President. Practically speaking, the Vice-President's role is similar to that of an Executive member.
Committee Members
Any RCSTA member can join a committee. Some of the more well known committees are LINC (which is elected), the P.D. committee, Superannuation Planning Committee, and the Convention Planning Committee. From time to time, there are also ad-hoc committees. Examples of ad-hoc committers would be the Constitution Review Committee or the Election Committee.
