Teacher who said he wanted to hurt students hired at Prince George school

A teacher who once told students in his care he’d like to hurt students, and that he wanted to use one student to kill and injure other students, will be teaching Grade 6/7 at Heritage Elementary School this fall.

According to the consent resolution agreement, Laurin was supervising a Grade 8 class field trip when he made comments overheard by some students. “Some of the students who heard these comments described them as ‘weird’ and reported feeling shocked by them, although they thought that Laurin was joking,” the consent resolution statement says.

Laurin had been teaching at École College Heights Elementary from September to Nov. 14, 2019, when he was removed from his position. “This is the individual I am entrusting to spend as much time with my children as I get to,” the parent said. “Is he a safe adult to be around children? I am deeply concerned surrounding that.”
