The Canadian Teachers’ Federation (CTF) is reporting that school staff are being subjected to harassment and intimidation when people disagree with decisions made by school boards (PSBs). The union is sounding the alarm about the negative impact this is having on the well-being and morale of front-line staff, who are being targeted for doing their jobs. CTF President, Anne Haese, stated that teachers and support staff are facing verbal abuse, threats, and even physical intimidation from parents and community members when decisions are made that they disagree with. This, she says, is not only unacceptable but also undermining the ability of staff to do their jobs effectively. The union is calling for an end to this kind of behavior and for those responsible to be held accountable. The CTF is also urging school boards to develop policies and procedures to protect staff from harassment and provide support for those who are affected.
