(CBC) The English Montreal School Board was expected to vote Wednesday night on whether it would enforce the province’s religious symbols ban, but the item was struck from the agenda shortly before the start of the meeting.
“I guess the majority of the commissioners felt that there were a lot of questions left about what exactly this means for the school board,” said EMSB vice-chair Joe Ortona.
He said the issue will be sent back to the board’s HR committee and will be brought back before the council as a whole at a later time.
EMSB chair Angela Mancini tried during the meeting to return the discussion of the religious symbols ban to the agenda, but was voted down.
