Vancouver re-elects four former school trustees fired by province
VANCOUVER — Four former Vancouver school trustees that were fired by the B.C. government last year have been re-elected to the job.
Former BC Liberal Education Minister Mike Bernier fired the nine trustees on the Vancouver School Board last October after they failed to produce a balanced budget.
An independent investigation also found the former school trustees contributed to a toxic work environment in which staff were bullied and harassed.
Four of those trustees were re-elected Saturday along with a slate of new faces and no single party holds a majority of seats on the board.
