Joan Bech Resigns

BREAKING NEWS

At 10:00am this morning Langley School Board Chair Joan Bech resigned. Despite our previous post about her moving to the Sunshine Coast, Bech claims that some School Board Trustees asked her to resign. She states that although she didn't agree with them, she tendered her resignation so as to not make waves. Instead of stating the true reason, her move.

Was the Langley Record instrumental in getting Joan Bech or other Trustees to see the light? Only the insiders know.

The Law Society of BC
Annotated Professional Conduct Handbook CHAPTER 2 - INTEGRITY
Dishonourable conduct

1. A lawyer must not, in private life, extra-professional activities or professional practice, engage in dishonourable or questionable conduct that casts doubt on the lawyer's professional integrity or competence, or reflects adversely on the integrity of the legal profession or the administration of justice.

The above should be applied to the current Education board and School District Administration. They should all be fired and replaced by a Minister of Education appointee. Their responsibility till the next 2011 November election would be to ensure the AG's recommendations were followed and that Beaumont finally fulfills her duties as a Superintendant.
