BURLINGTON, ON

Minister of Education: Paul Calandra,

Paul Calandra, the Minister of Education, is demanding the chair of the Toronto Catholic board return almost $7,000 worth of items purchased with taxpayer dollars including TV mounts, headphones, cameras & projectors calls the expenses “obscene” & “offensive.”

Ontario school board trustees are calling Education Minister Paul Calandra a “hypocrite” for going after individual expenses, pointing out he has racked up tens of thousands of dollars in his own expenses as a member of cabinet and provincial parliament.

The proposed provincial plan to eliminate public school board trustees is at the mud-slinging stage.
