WOW AND NOW OUR LOCAL CATHOLIC SCHOOL BOARD GETS HAMMERED

It's been a great week for parents and children in that both our local school boards here in Waterloo Region have taken a beating in the media. While I'm confident saying that the Waterloo Region District School Board need and should have received their beating on a weekly basis, I'm less sure in regards to the separate Catholic Board. That said this is in no way to imply that former Janek Jagiellowicz criticisms are inaccurate. Boy does he lay into the Catholic Board in his letter to the editor in yesterday's Waterloo Region Record. The title of his letter is "Education Act needs to be changed".

Mr. J refers to the Boards's "doublespeak and outright misrepresentation" and further states that the "school boards are self-serving, broken at the core and do not fundamentally care about the parents or the children.". Wow I give him credit as a former trustee for coming forward ands only wish other trustees would do the same. Somewhat along the lines of Cindy Watson at the WRDSB. Mr. J's bottom line seems to be that the Education Act has to be changed to allow non-teachers to run school boards. He refers to these former teachers on the board as "ex-teachers who have a cushy job without accountability.".
