Yes, you can! Applications are considered based on Regulation 247. This regulation is mandated by the Ontario government and dictates how we can hire for these roles. When hiring for LTO positions, we must consider the top five most senior qualified applicants on our board’s LTO list prior to considering any supply employees. Should no LTO or supply teachers meet the required qualifications, consideration would then be given to external candidates. The SCDSB encourages supply and external candidates to apply to all positions that are of interest to them. Obtaining an LTO position as a supply and external applicant is possible depending on the qualifications for the required position and the qualifications of the applicants. For example, it is common for supply and external applicants to be considered for an LTO where French qualifications are required, as there may be no current FSL teachers on the LTO list who applied. This would then open the opportunity to supply teachers first, and external applicants second.
