Clearly this was a big enough issue that two previous governments were also concerned enough to look into it.

Could it perhaps be that in fact, the CBE is not as well run as other boards, has systemic problems with fiscal management that stretch back over a decade, and is in dire need of governance improvements?

As a taxpayer, I am all for holding government institutions accountable for how they utilize funds, especially ones that have shown their past stewardship deserves closer scrutiny.
I think that the provincial government likes to have the school boards in place for this exact reason. The province does whatever to mess around with the funding and then basically says "yeah, that sucks...talk to the school board."
