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.
