Manitoba school board's troubles intensify as 3 trustees quit days after superintendent fired

Inner turmoil of a Manitoba school board currently under a provincial review has exploded as three trustees say they're resigning just days after other board members voted to fire the superintendent.

Misko says the board's current environment has made it "very difficult" to properly represent all of the communities and students that the division is supposed to. Floyd Martens, who served on the board of trustees since 1992, shared his notice of resignation with CBC on Monday. He told the board in an emailed statement that his departure was "effective immediately."

"The government initiated a review of the school division," he said Monday. "I think we should hear the results … and see any solutions that the province may have in regards to restoring Mountain View." Gabe Mercier, chairperson of the division's board of trustees, says Jaddock was removed because the former superintendent proposed a change to his salary and his contract was ending in June.Mercier, who is serving his second term on the MVSD's board, says the subsequent trustee resignations came in light of conflicts between them and newer trustees who were elected in 2022.

Frances Chartrand, the Manitoba Métis Federation's vice-president of the northwest region — which includes Dauphin — says Saturday was the second annual Pride parade that the MMF held in partnership with the school division, which began outside Dauphin Regional Comprehensive Secondary School.
