Judges says B.C. school board lacked authority to suspend trustees
A B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled the Greater Victoria School Board lacked the authority to censure and suspend two elected trustees over allegations of harassment and bullying.
They were censured and suspended in February after a third-party investigation produced two reports a month earlier. The complaints stem from the trustees’ social media posts about the performance of staff, as well as McNally’s comments to the complainants and Paynter’s comments at public board meetings.
McNeil had said that making recommendations to meaningfully address their conduct had therefore been a challenge, the judge noted.
