B.C. fires Victoria School Board over ban on police in schools
- British Columbia's Education Minister Lisa Beare has fired the entire Victoria School Board due to a dispute over a safety plan that barred police from schools except in emergencies.
- Beare appointed Sherri Bell as a lone trustee to oversee the district until municipal elections in fall 2026.
- The board's decision to ban police was based on reports that some students and teachers, especially Indigenous individuals and people of color, felt unsafe with officers present.
- Beare stated that the board failed to assist a special adviser and demonstrated significant governance issues in developing a safety plan.
