Quebec court sides with English school boards fighting education reform
While the government had argued that only parents with children currently enrolled in the English system should be considered rights holders in the case, the judge opted for a much broader definition of the community, ruling that rights should extend to everyone who is or has been eligible to enrol their children in English school.Toddler dies in hot car after grandmother forgot to drop her off at N.Y.
“The minority is having the vision of the majority imposed on it as to who can represent it, whereas for more than 200 years, all members of the community have been eligible to take care of school management,” the judge wrote.He also struck down provisions that would have placed unelected staff members on boards, as well as a rule that stipulated that a service centre’s director general — a staff member — be designated as official spokesperson.
Lussier declined to strike down some of the articles that had been challenged, including a rule that school service centres must facilitate the sharing of resources with each other and other public bodies, as well as another that allows ministers to determine objectives or targets.
