Overview:
Monique LaGrange challenged the Board’s decision to sanction her for a social media post comparing Nazi indoctrination to children waving Pride flags, alleging breaches of inclusivity policies and the Education Act. The Board imposed sanctions, including committee removal, mandatory sensitivity training, and a public apology.

Court’s Findings:

  1. Reasonableness:

    • The Board acted within its authority under the Education Act and policies.
    • The post undermined inclusivity and a safe school environment, violating Trustee Role Description (Policy 3) and Trustee Code of Conduct (Policy 4).
  2. Procedural Fairness:

    • No bias or unfairness was found in the Board’s process. Initial procedural errors regarding trustee dismissal were corrected.
  3. Sanctions:

    • Most sanctions were upheld, including removal from committees and mandatory sensitivity training.
    • The requirement for a "sincere" apology and additional redundant training was struck down.

Outcome:

The Court upheld the Board’s decision, affirming that LaGrange’s actions violated policies and the Education Act. Minor modifications were made to sanctions, and costs will be determined in a later hearing. No amount specified.
