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

Ontario schools had volunteers
perform tasks of eliminated positions
VOLUNTEERS at some On-
tario schools violated a collective
agreement by replacing eliminat-
ed bargaining unit positions.
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:
