To the Editor:
The recent drastic actions of the Southeast Cornerstone School Division regarding the removal of the principal at Weyburn Comprehensive School lacks any deep thinking and clarity on their part.
Their moral perspective and judgment appears both conflicting, obscure and extreme. And it has further widened the chasm amongst students, parents and teachers against division head administrators.
A well-respected and dedicated principal who devoted 25 years to his profession has been sadly wronged.
It seems a contradiction that this principal has been released from his duties, yet a principal who was hired by Southeast Cornerstone still maintains his position to date, but worked previously at another school division and was released from his teaching duties because of charges of sexual misconduct.
Our southeast Saskatchewan students and parents as well had to contend with a sexual misconduct case at Midale School in 2014 and a sexual assault case at Estevan Comprehensive School in 2017, each involving a guilty teacher.
Perhaps a new human resource superintendent is needed and the upper management teams’ moral compass readjusted by the parents of this area of the province, as most of our school board members seem silent and accommodating to the division head administration’s decisions.
