Further Developments from the Mountain View School Division, as three board trustees have resigned from their positions as of Monday morning.
MVSD Board chair made statements to CBC on the matter, saying "There was a power struggle between the old guard and, let's say, the new kids on the block," noting, "The people who resigned are the old guard."
Northwest Métis Council Vice President Francis Chartrand spoke with CKDM, following the Red River Métis' government States on this developing issue.
"The biggest concern I have of course would be the children, staff, and the families that are a part of all Mountain View School Division. We've had backlash and calls from some of our parents saying they're going to pull their children out of school. Is it a safe environment?"
Chartrand's concerns arise over the timeline of these events.
"So, you have this presentation from Paul Coffey. You have the firing of the Superintendent. Then you have three trustees resign (yesterday) morning. So we know there's problems in the big house."
The Province is still in the midst of a governance review after the previous statements made by Trustee Paul Coffey in a presentation entitled "Racism/Anti-Racism: Nice Until It Isn't".
Chartand hopes the resulting fallout of these events doesn't affect the teachers, and the quality of education.
"We have a great partnership with the Mountain View Teachers Association. We want to make sure the staff are safe. The Staff are teaching our students are safe, and that there's no repercussions to them."
Notably, the three trustees who resigned as of Monday were not in attendance at the emergency meeting that took place Friday, which held the vote to remove Superintendent Jaddock from his role.
