Not sure about past corruption. But there is plenty currently taking place at the Lakehead Publc School board. Sherri-lyn Pharrand took over as director in sept. Her first act was to create a $160000 a year superintendent job for her best friend, whom she created a superintendent job for at the dryden school board when she went there as director a few years ago from her job as superintendent at LPS. This wasn't a replacement. It is a brand new job that didn't exist before. She also created 2 more very expensive and pointless management positions a month later, For certain people. Sherri- Lyn and her best friend Jane lower ( her lapdog mentioned earlier) just returned from an "educational conference" in Chile. This while they have yet to even begin the local negotiations with C.U.P.E ro ratify the contract they signed with the province 3 months ago. The board owes roughly 160 C.U.P.E members about $1500 a peice, that they couldn't care less about dealing with. Only money for senior management at the LPS. Sherri-Lyn has just recently canceled all weekend school rentals (sports, birthday parties, groups, etc.) As she claims they have used up the while yearly budget already. So no one in the community can now use the public school buildings on weekends because Sherri-lyn Pharand needed the money to create upper management jobs for her closest cronies. That's just what I'm privy to, I'm sure there is more. Ohh... it was also Sherri-lyn Pharand who made the human rights complaint against Ian Mcrea, the Director who just retired and was going to rum for trustee. I guess Sherri-lyn didn't want the past director watching over her decisions
