CHMA talks with Anglophone East District Education Councillor Kristin Cavoukian about a court action filed last week by Minister of Education Bill Hogan, seeking to dissolve the Anglophone East DEC.
“People want their district education councils,” says Cavoukian, “because they understand that we are the last bulwark against the politicization of our education system.”
Cavoukian also talks about the DEC’s decision to appeal a judge’s decision in its recent case against the province. “Our lawyers believe that some errors were made,” says Cavoukian, “and that an appeal is a worthwhile thing to do. None of us are ready to give up on this fight yet.”
