Toronto District School Board and Sexual Harassment

sexual harassment: Armed police at meetings, locked doors to keep trustees from bothering staff, reports of sexual harassment, temper tantrums and conflict of interest and thats just in the past week, according to The Star.

Since the mega-board was created 16 years ago through the forced marriage of six fiercely independent school systems, its 22 trustees cant seem to stay out of trouble.

Dont even get started on their financial fiascos just last year Queens Park froze all funds for construction until they got capital spending in order . (www.immigrantscanada.com).
