PM #40065782 March 16, 2020 Labour Reporter Canadian www.labour-reporter.com Ontario teacher's 'improper relationships' with female students triggers dismissal AN ONTARIO teacher's dismissal for not respect- ing student-teacher boundaries has been upheld. The teacher taught automotive technology at a school in Sudbury, Ont., for three years and was popular with students. He usually allowed stu- dents to spend their lunch periods in the school's auto shop. The teacher heard that the boyfriend of a fe- male student — referred to as "X" — was telling people X had given him a sexually transmitted disease (STD). After knowing about it for about a year, the teacher talked to X about it and advised her to be responsible. He understood that the stu- dent had already discussed the matter with her mother, so he didn't mention it to anyone. Another student in the teacher's class, "Y", told him she wanted to get a tattoo as a sign of solidarity with her mother, who was fighting a serious disease. Y said her father approved and she asked for a ride because her father was working.

The collective agreement for the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) had a provision limiting the use of volunteers "only to en- rich programs or provide other services" that didn't adversely af- fect or permanently replace bar- gaining unit employees. In the 2012-13 school year, the TDSB made cuts to its staff. Vol- unteers were used at six schools to help fill in the gaps: GOVERNMENT Brazeau County Drayton Valley, Alta.
