A former Hastings Prince Edward School Board director of education will be the subject of an Ontario College of Teachers disciplinary hearing.
Sean Monteith left the director’s position in March of 2021 without explanation after being hired two years earlier.
Monteith is accused by the disciplinary committee of the Ontario College of Teachers of not keeping required records, signing documents he knew to be untrue and charging the school board for expenses in violation of the board’s policies.
Those alleged expenses involved travel, flights and hotels for himself and others.

The professor said in an interview Tuesday that she requested the documents in May after Education…
It is exciting to see how the 57 IsDB Member Countries, spread across four continents, are striving to build a future that blends a purposeful embrace of cutting-edge technologies with the rich heritage of Islam, situating them as a vibrant source of education and culture.
Many IsDB member countries are scaling up investments in education, fully cognizant of the fact that a well-educated and properly skilled workforce is vital towards diversifying their economies and fostering peaceful and prosperous societies. Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, for example, includes a specific human capital program focused on building basic and advanced skills to better…
Nova Scotia opposition leaders say the Progressive Conservative government should be able to provide proof to the public that new schools announced in recent months — all of them in Tory districts — are those most in need of replacement.
Education Minister Becky Druhan released her government’s school capital plan last month. Along with renovations and the addition of modular classrooms for some schools, the plan also includes eight new builds: four to replace existing schools and four to go in parts of Halifax Regional Municipality to address areas of high population growth.
Four of those buildings have already been…

Quebec Education Minister Bernard Drainville is facing fierce criticism for comments he made about the relative worth of teachers’ work in a video interview Monday with the editorial team at Le Devoir.
Political columnist Michel David asked Drainville about negotiations with the province’s teachers, who have been offered a nine per cent increase over five years.
