Governance chaos, absent leadership, and fractured relationships have left the Near North District School Board in turmoil, according to a newly released report.
A scathing review revealed widespread dysfunction within the NNDSB, citing a breakdown in governance, leadership failures, and eroded public trust.
The Ministry of Education report detailed the findings of the review process for the Board, including the misuse of a corporate credit card.
On at least two occasions, the Director’s corporate card was used by a family member for personal use.
Corporate cards are intended to be used solely in relation to school board business.
The Chair confirmed that when she questioned these expenses, she was assured that the Director intended to reimburse the school board for those purchases.
