What is the DTA PD Fund?

The PD Fund, as explained, is not derived from member dues but from a collective bargaining agreement, specifically Article F.23:2 of the provincial collective agreement. It allocates funds to the DTA PD Committee based on the total number of FTE (Full-Time Equivalent) teachers in the district, including TTOCs (Teachers Teaching on Call), and this total is multiplied by half the TTOC daily rate. For the current year, this has resulted in a fund of approximately $238,443.28.

If this amount were to be equally distributed among all teachers, each would receive around $206. However, instead of distributing the funds directly, the PD Committee has policies in place for various categories of professional development, such as regular PD (conferences and workshops), credit courses, and self-directed PD. Teachers can apply for funding under these categories, and funds are allocated based on the committee’s policies, which are available on the DTA website. Although the fund is limited and could potentially run out within a year, any surplus is carried over to the following year.

This fund is for active members only.
The DTA does not provide funding for entry fees to public attractions.
The DTA-managed PD fund is not intended to fund in-service or other district-directed activities.

It’s important to read and understand all the policies associated with the PD fund applications. This will help ensure that your application is completed accurately and includes all necessary supporting documents. Properly completed applications can be processed more efficiently for approval. Details on how to receive reimbursement are also provided on the application form itself.

Credit Course Application

The Credit Course Funding application form is designed to support teachers enrolled in courses that provide post-secondary credits from a CRA-accredited university. The maximum allowable funding is $1,500 per person per year (July 1st – June 30th). For tax purposes, the university or college will issue a T2022A, and the DTA will issue a T4A as per Canada Revenue Agency regulations.

Please ensure that your application is submitted before the course begins, as the DTA does not accept applications once the course has started or retroactively for previous courses.
