A provincially appointed oversight panel walked out of the Mountain View School Division’s Monday board meeting as controversy continues to grip the beleaguered division ahead of an Oct. 30 byelection.
The board followed up the next day by releasing an “important announcement” decrying “the lack of response from the Minister of Education and the unwillingness of the appointed oversight panel to collaborate without undermining local governance.”
Education Minister Nello Altomare appointed the three-person panel in June, following the resignation of three trustees and firing of the superintendent in the wake of a controversial April presentation by Ward 2 trustee Paul Coffey.
