VANCOUVER B.C.’s new minister of education is ordering a review of the Chilliwack school board to make sure its trustees are respecting the human rights of students in the district. Jennifer Whiteside announced Tuesday she’s ordered the review to evaluate the board’s “commitment to a school system that is safe, inclusive and welcoming to all students and staff.” The well-being of students and staff in our education system is my highest priority and must be the highest priority of school trustees as well, Whiteside said in a news release. Those tasked with the review will investigate “the extent that actions of trustees in their role are consistent with the human rights of students and staff.”
