Chilliwack school board trustee Barry Neufeld is under the microscope again, this time in court. The petition, filed by local resident and former school board candidate Peter Lang, concerns an in-camera meeting of the school board in October 2020. In the meeting, Neufeld allegedly made comments relating to a settlement of a human rights complaint with CUPE, the union that represents Chilliwack school support workers. "Minister Whiteside has asked trustee Neufeld to resign, so the Chilliwack Board of Education can move forward, putting inclusivity and student wellness front and centre in their work. "We cannot comment further as the matter is before the courts, but we are aware of concerns regarding a Chilliwack school board trustee."
