Five Brandon School Division trustees have been censured for their actions at recent board meetings.

In a release sent out Tuesday afternoon, the division said chairperson Linda Ross as well as trustees Jim Murray and Kim Fallis were reprimanded for violating board policy 7.7.

That section states that trustees must treat their colleagues, division staff, students and members of the community with respect and refrain from using abusive language in dealings with them.

Trustees Breeanna Sieklicki and Calistus Ekenna were censured for violating BSD bylaw 9, section 6.6, which states that board members may only ask questions for clarification after a presentation from a delegation.

Ross confirmed the reprimands in a phone interview with the Sun.

At the end of Monday night’s board meeting, it was said trustees were entering an in-camera discussion on trustee conduct. According to Ross, the board went back into an open session to vote on the motion afterwards.

However, that portion was not included in the livestream of proceedings as the staff member in charge of broadcasting meetings had already gone home.

Only trustees Duncan Ross and Blaine Foley were not censured. There are two current vacancies on the board.
