Ontario trustee resigns after education minister tables legislation to fire him over $45K Italy art trip | CBC News

An Ontario school trustee who the province's education minister sought to fire through legislation has now resigned. Mark Watson was one of four trustees with the Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic District School Board who took a $45,000 trip to Italy to buy $100,000 worth of art for the board. The controversial trip is one of several examples of what Ontario Education Minister Paul Calandra has cited as evidence of misuse of public dollars at some school boards and a need for a governance overhaul.
