Roberge “shocked” at EMSB disarray
A government report saying management at the English Montreal School Board is so bad that it has reportedly shocked education minister J-F Roberge. The report suggests removing the existing commissioners and putting it under trusteeship.

That required a report?! I mean Mancini basically somehow abdicating her duties and disappearing while at the same time being totally toxic wasn’t enough of a sign?

I have to say that report is about as damning as it can be. Wink construction contracts, credit card abuse, foreign student fees and a culture of entitlement from Mancini and Mattheson. Where are the students in their decision making…no where. If these two people had any personal pride they would resign.

The EMSB has been corrupt for over 2 decades, they just discovered it now? Should have been in trusteeship a long time ago… hand it over to Pearson…. let them run it.

This from the Pearson Board, “Six months after she took a leave of absence, Susanne Stein Day is resigning as chair of the Lester B. Pearson School Board. Stein Day said she is resigning due to health reasons.
One year ago Stein Day acknowledged that the ethics commissioner had found she violated the board’s code of ethics, but refused to admit she did anything wrong.” She used Board lawyers to intimidate critics and was found to be in violation of three other ethics complaints.
“In late 2016, vocational programs at the Lester B. Pearson and English Montreal school boards came under investigation by auditors from the Quebec government and the province’s anti-corruption force UPAC for financial irregularities.” I’ll stop, our communities school boards are an embarrassment.

Jack, and I can tell you what they irregularities were… because the teachers were complaining for years. And the government either knew, or turned a blind eye. One part was moving money around from department to department. The other… changing attendance.
