Schoolboard votes to seek court costs
Medicine Hat’s public school division will be looking to get their money back.
Earlier in April, the schoolboard had been in court, following an appeal by the Concerned Parents of SD76 (CPOSD76). The group had submitted a petition to the school board seeking to have more discussion about the division’s policy on LGBTQ students.
After the original petition had been dismissed by the school board for lacking sufficient signatures, CPOSD76 appealed via the court system. The appeal was dismissed in April by the Court of Queen’s Bench, once again due to the lack of valid signatures.
Last week, Rick Massini, the board chair of the public division, said that the question of seeking reimbursement for the court process would be on the agenda for the board’s meeting on May 16.
