Controversies
- The former director Ian MacRae allegedly said inappropriate comments to staff members and "inappropriate physical contact"[4] with a colleague. In spring of 2017, Ian MacRae allegedly requested communications staff members to remove the achievements of a staff member from the board website and said "he wished for bad things to happen to her." He also allegedly made a number of inappropriate comments about Indigenous people. He has been found guilty.[5]
- In 2023, the school board filed a court order compelling Reddit to disclose contact information of at least two users who made posts about the board and staff, and to remove those posts.[6]
