British Columbia’s education minister has fired the entire Victoria School Board in a dispute over a safety plan where the board barred police from schools except in emergencies.
Minister Lisa Beare says student safety is at risk in the district and she has appointed a lone trustee to oversee the district.
“Students are at the centre of every decision I make, and ultimately their safety in this school district is at risk. Our government has given this board multiple opportunities to act, and they have not delivered,” Beare said in a release.
