Education Department to Investigate Toxic Climate in Three Montreal Schools

December 11, 2024 TruthUSA

Education Department audits have revealed multiple issues related to a toxic climate at three French-language Montreal schools.

Education Minister Bernard Drainville stated that the audits raised concerns about the quality of educational services and possible safety risks to students’ physical or psychological well-being.

The audits were conducted at La Voie, Bienville, and Saint-Pascal-Babylon schools following similar allegations at Bedford School, where 11 teachers were suspended.

While detailed audit findings remain confidential, Drainville emphasized the need for a comprehensive investigation due to the alarming nature of the allegations.

Quebec has initiated audits at 17 schools amid worries about the secular nature of public schools not being upheld, with a report anticipated in January.

Drainville recently announced plans to introduce a bill reinforcing secularism in schools.
