As you heard earlier in today’s program, the province is cracking down on the financial accountability of provincial school boards. Ottawa’s largest school board is one of the biggest names on this list, and it’s not good news if they fail the next steps. In a statement released by the Ministry of Education, an investigator will be assigned to validate the school board’s current financial position. Then, they will recommend whether the Ministry should take charge of the situation. Kristy Cameron chats with OCDSB Trustee Lynn Scott on today’s Ottawa Now. She is the Chair of the Board and represents schools in West Carleton-March, Stittsville, and Rideau-Jock. Scott says the school board will fully cooperate with the pending investigation, maintaining their commitment to financial accountability and transparency in the process.
