A school board in Cowichan Valley has been expelled. The province's education minister, George Abbott, fired the board for
district 79 after it refused to produce a balanced budget by yesterday's
deadline. Abbott has appointed Surrey school district superintendent Mike McKay
as the official trustee for the district, praising him as a respected
30-year veteran of the education system. McKay once worked as a school principal in the district and is now
tasked with working alongside district staff to produce a balanced
budget. Last week, the district's board passed a deficit budget in a 4-5 decision. According to board member Ryan Bruce, if a balanced budget is not
passed funds from the government cannot be transferred to the district.

A perfect example of "do as I say and not as I do"! Who will take over as a trustee for the Provincial and Federal Governments?
