Lecce says his staff will review the allegations of a principal who died by suicide months after launching a lawsuit against the TDSB for allegedly failing to support him when he was accused of racism during a professional training session.

Minister Stephen Lecce calls the allegations raised by Richard Bilkszto "serious and disturbing" and says he's asked his staff to review what happened and bring him “options to reform professional training and strengthen accountability on school boards so this never happens again."

The TDSB issued a statement acknowledging his death and saying it shared the ministry's desire to learn what happened and make necessary changes, calling Bilkszto a strong student advocate over his 24-year career. He alleged the TDSB failed to investigate his workplace harassment claim and then retaliated by disinviting him from a graduation for a program he helped create and revoking a temporary contract offer.
