"It was a significant discussion at the senior executive level about whether or not to commit to the conference approval, because of the location," said education director John Howitt.
"There was no question that the quality of the conference met the needs of attendees - we also reviewed whether or not the same needs could be met at another conference that was not in this location, and we could not find anything."
The three attendees were members of the Indigenous Education Team and frontline staff, and the conference was not specific to Indigenous education but covered a wide variety of topics.
Hotel room rates for the LKDSB representatives were as high as $1,113.09 US a night for one attendee, according to documents.
