Burnaby teachers doubled their presence on the B.C. Teachers Federation executive this week.
Burnaby Teachers’ Association president Rae Figursky was elected to a one-year, member-at-large post at the federation’s annual general meeting at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Vancouver March 12 to 15.
She joins former BTA president James Sanyshyn, who will serve the second year of a two-year term.
Figursky’s appointment is effective July 1.
Her second term as president of the local teachers’ union ends June 30.
Since BTA policy does not allow presidents and vice-presidents to serve more than two consecutive one-year terms, Figursky will return to teaching high school math full time in September and be released from her duties “as needed” for work on the BCTF executive.
