Ontario Premier Doug Ford says his government will look at the future role of school board trustees.

Some boards in southern Ontario are already under the eye of a Ministry-appointed supervisor.

Ford says the expenses of trustees are an area of concern.

He says Education Minister Paul Calandra is going through them with a fine-tooth comb, and the findings will shock people when they are made public.

“We’re going to hold (them) accountable. They’re going to be accountable, and they’re going to start running the schools properly,” says Ford.

“They’re going to start making sure they put money in the classroom. That’s where we need it.

We don’t need these Taj Mahal school boards. We need it in the classroom.”

Ford says it is not just the government that is concerned with the spending practices of school boards.

“Talk to the teachers about school boards, talk to parents about school boards. Talk to the parents that the group of school boards decided it’d be a great idea to go rent one of those hotels looking over the Blue Jays for, what was it, $30,000 on the back of taxpayers’ money.”

There is no indication as to when a decision on the future school boards will be made.

Trustees’ current terms end next fall.
