By Canadian Press on January 30, 2025.

VICTORIA — British Columbia’s education minister has fired the entire Victoria School Board in a dispute over a safety plan where the board barred police from schools except in emergencies.

Minister Lisa Beare says student safety is at risk in the district and she has appointed a lone trustee to oversee the district until the next municipal elections set for the fall of 2026.

More coming.
