After a month of public scrutiny, Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB) trustees voted to issue sanctions against two of the four trustees named in an independent report after complaints of racism and exclusion from a former student trustee.
They also unanimously recommended that one trustee — Carole Paikin Miller — resign.
Paikin Miller already faces sanctions that include censure, a call to publicly apologize, and more training on equity, governance and anti-racism. She's also barred from sitting on any committees until December 2021.
