This is why I was so worked up about the trustees at BHNCDSB sending themselves on a luxury shopping trip to Italy while their schools were asking parents to bring Kleenex to school and fundraising for playground equipment and projectors. Schools are woefully underfunded in Ontario.

I am furious all over again to learn that not all the $$$ has been repaid after BHNCDSB trustees sent themselves on a shopping trip to Italy, using taxpayer dollars while schools in their system were fundraising for supplies.
This just gets worse and worse. @bhncdsb asks parents and teachers to subsidize classrooms while trustees spend lavishly on artwork and travel — and now the board spends more $$$ to deal with the fallout of their egregious misuse of public funds.

We should all be livid.
The Catholic school board in Brantford has now paid $63k to lawyers and a PR firm to manage the outrage created by news trustees took a $50k trip to Italy to buy artwork.

Independent MPP Bobbi Ann Brady says that BHNCDSB trustee Mark Watson has not paid back his share of public funds spent on a luxury trip to Italy last year. The egregious misuse of taxpayer dollars while school boards fundraise for supplies sparked a public outcry and they said they'd pay it back.

So because BHNCDSB has lots of money it's OK to spend it on art and a trip to Italy for 4 trustees 👌

It’s been 2 months since reports surfaced of the @bhncdsb trustee scandal where $145,000 was carelessly spent, and the education minister claimed an investigation would follow.
There have been no updates, reports of progress, or communication whatsoever.

In a 27-minute board meeting, BHNCDSB heard a petition calling for the resignation of the four who went on a jaunt to Europe and two motions (that got no support) for releasing more information about the trips aftermath.

Jillian Clark was frustrated in her efforts to tell BHNCDSB trustees why they should resign after their $50,000 trip to Europe.

@bhncdsb says they have a sizable surplus as justification for this trip. Yet, parents are still being asked to bring in Kleenex and other supplies. Teachers are still subsidizing their class programs. And the PTA is fundraising for basic equipment like projectors & playgrounds.

When they tell you that the school board is strapped for resources and they can't provide the support your child needs.... and then you read this. @bhncdsb has some explaining to do....

We are so grateful for funny, kind, enthusiastic Mrs Savard who was a gift from God during a rough year. @bhncdsb

My son's distance teacher, Mrs Savard, is THE BEST. She just hosted the most beautiful Mother's Day ceremony. She got teary sharing how grateful she is for moms supporting their kids online and we all started crying because she has been so wonderful to our kids all year. @bhncdsb

Teachers in GEDSB / BHNCDSB returning to class on Monday I have a couple of CO2 loggers available to loan out. Pickup/return in Simcoe. DM's open.

So @bhncdsb says that covid in schools is from the community, because they have done all the right things so it can't be from transmission in schools. You can follow a bad plan perfectly and it's still a bad plan and it isn't your fault. It is @Sflecce's fault. #schoolspread

Hey @parentaction4ed - received an email from BHNCDSB this evening informing parents who chose distance learning that French Immersion will not be available after all. Not enough teachers. So not an equivalent program and too late to change. What a fiasco.

In Lord of the Rings when they light the beacons of Gondor to send for help in their greatest hour and help arrives? It always makes me cry. That's how it would feel if I heard from my trustees - if they joined us in defense of public education and of kids #wrdsb #bhncdsb #gedsb
