11 Teachers Suspended at Montreal School Over Toxic Environment Allegations

The unprecedented suspensions at Bedford Elementary follow a government report detailing a climate of fear and intimidation fostered by a 'dominant clan' of teachers.

The Centre de services scolaire de Montréal suspended 11 teachers at Bedford Elementary School in response to a government investigation.
The investigation revealed a 'dominant clan' of teachers who allegedly imposed an autocratic environment, intimidating students and staff.
The report accused the teachers of dismissing learning disabilities and obstructing support staff from entering classrooms.
Quebec's Education Ministry is overseeing the investigation, with the teachers suspended until the committee completes its work.
The school has implemented a plan to support students with substitute teachers and additional resources during the investigation.
