A Trustee with the Hastings and Prince Edward School Board is continuing her legal battle against the Board.
At last night’s meeting, the Board was told that North Prince Edward County Trustee Rachael Prinzen has decided to appeal the recent verdict of the Ontario Divisional Court.
Earlier this month, they dismissed a challenge from Prinzen after she was found to have breached the board’s code of conduct when she shared confidential board documents with the Ministry of Education concerning the board’s operations.
The beleaguered trustee had originally been barred from attending board and committee meetings for 180 days in total, and the court also ruled the 38 days already served would count as the full penalty.
In response to the earlier decision, the Board issued a statement that “As this litigation was initiated by an individual trustee and not the Board, there was a fiduciary responsibility to defend the Board’s integrity and validity of governed processes,”.
