comFaced with the prospect of just
one of five trustees being allowed to
vote on employee contracts, the
Huron-Perth Catholic District
School Board has made a judicial
application for an exemption under
Ontario’s Municipal Conflict of
Interest Act.
“A number of our trustees have
conflicts as a result of a spouse or a
child being employed with the
board,” explained business
superintendent Gerry Thuss,
following a regular meeting
Monday, Jan. 28.
As a result, provincial legislation
dictates they aren’t allowed to vote
on contracts with the employee
groups in which those family
members work. Indeed, only one of
the board’s five trustees would be
able to vote under the law.
So the board filed an application
in court for an exemption under the
Act. Thuss expects the exemption
will be granted, but the judge
instructed the board to publish the
application on its website, located at
www.hpcdsb.edu.on.ca/, to ensure
the public is aware of the situation.
“He wanted to make sure that it
was out there in the open,” Thuss
said.
The superintendent added that
concerns about conflict of interest
shouldn’t come up “as long as the
vote isn’t relating specifically to the
person about whom there’s a
conflict” – such as a vote about
giving a particular employee a leave
of absence.
