Manitoba’s independent teacher commissioner, Noni Classen, reports receiving 94 complaints related to teacher professional misconduct during her first 15 months in the role. The commissioner’s summary outlines the concerns that were brought forward and indicates how they are being handled within the complaints process.
The commissioner says most teachers carry out their duties with professionalism and compassion, while also emphasizing that issues raised through the complaint system must be addressed. Global News and the Winnipeg Free Press both report the same overall figure and timeframe, describing the released summary as an update on the volume of complaints and the nature of the concerns flagged to the watchdog.
