I think it's clear that the CBE Board has problems with spending. I am not however supporting LaGrange threatening them that they will be replaced if things are not fixed. We are in uncharted territory with the oil downturn/COVID and should not overreact. LaGrange should be hiring someone that has experience to help the trustees fix the mess.

I'm curious if there is anything that can be done with the building they are renting for 2 to 3 times the standard market going rate.

Let's hope that whatever comes out of this they will eventually be able to properly pay staff completing internships. I find it absurd that students are being forced to pay tuition for education and then work an entire year without pay (School Psychologists in Calgary).
