THE RECORD COMMENTS WISELY ON TRUSTEE ANDREA MITCHELL



Yesterday's Waterloo Region Record carried as an Editorial the following opinion namely "Trustee should rethink her job". The Editorial is in reference to Trustee Andrea Mitchell's decision to "attend" a Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) meeting by telephone. This takes place after a year's absence allegedly due to a "heart condition". The Record Editorial does not advise as to whether or not any evidence of that heart condition had been made available to the Board. Also disconcertingly there is the suggestion that her non-attendance for the past year is also due to "risk" to her health due to an alleged private verbal confrontation with another trustee. While the Board made some sort of investigation of this verbal confrontation it was difficult to ascertain either party's exact words in the absence of witnesses. Long story short the Record are suggesting very respectfully that if the Trustee for whatever reason is unable to perform her duties it's time to say goodbye. I would tend to agree. Yes there has been acrimony at the Board. Yes it must be stressful. But after a year it's time to either attend in person and perform your duties or resign.
