In a strongly worded letter sent to all 12 York Region trustees on Tuesday, Education Minister Mitzie Hunter demanded a plan of action from them — by Jan. 13 — in light of ongoing concerns. Ontario’s education minister is giving the York Region school board two months to come clean on how it handled the investigation into a principal’s anti-Muslim Facebook posts, how it deals with incidents of racism and ending the secrecy around trustees’ travel. Then, the director and DeBartolo jetted off to Holland, with trustees and staff saying the trip was kept under wraps. At the time, the education minister intervened and placed a six-month moratorium on their international travel. “When we the public ask about how are tax dollars are being used, we are roadblocked every way to get the answers,” Silverman said.
