Holy Family Elementary School principal Ted Hupé has been elected president of the Yukon Teachers’ Association.
The union posted the announcement on social media May 21, following a vote May 20 conducted electronically and by mail-in ballot.
Union officials did not release the results of the vote noting those details aren’t typically made public, but stated Hupé won with a majority of votes.
He ran against Jason Cook, an educational assistant at Porter Creek Secondary School, for the two-year position.
A candidates forum was held May 19 — with YTA members able to tune in virtually — ahead of the 24-hour voting period.
