Former School District 57 trustees shouldn't be too critical of the current board, given their performance, a letter writer says.
I find it ironic that Betty Bekkering and Sharel Warrington have publicly criticized the current Prince George School Board as dysfunctional. They have both claimed that the current board does not know what they are doing and need to do the job of being trustees.
The irony is that both Ms. Bekkering and Ms. Warrington were SD57 trustees when the Ministry Of Education labelled SD57 as a dysfunctional school board and had to appoint special advisors to help the SD57 Board of Trustees to become a functional and effective school board. Both Ms. Bekkering and Ms. Warrington have raised concerns that the current SD57 board have "gone too far" by relieving Cindy Heitman of her position as superintendent. That was creating instability in the district. I believe both Ms. Bekkering and Ms. Warrington were trustees in 2019 when superintendent Marquis-Foster was relieved of her duties or resigned. Nevertheless, she left the district.
They were trustees when interim superintendent Rod Allen was replaced by Anita Richardson. They were both trustees when Anita Richardson was relieved of her position. It does seem hypocritical that these two trustees would be critical of a board that relieved the latest superintendent, Cindy Heitman, of her duties, when they went through three superintendents in three years. They could argue that Rod Allen was an interim superintendent and was only there until they found a full time superintendent. I am not sure what they would consider full time as they averaged two superintendents in three years, 2018-2021.
