The Teachers Act is based on two foundational principles: the paramount nature of the public interest and transparency. The purpose of publishing discipline decisions is to provide the public with the confidence that educators who fail to meet the Standards are held accountable.
Disciplinary decisions are published publicly on this website: http://www.bcteacherregulation.ca/ProfessionalConduct/DisciplineDecisions.aspx
As recently published in the Prince George Citizen, a teacher in SD57 – Morfee Elementary and Buckhorn Elementary – was disciplined. The decision can be found here: http://www.bcteacherregulation.ca/documents/FormsandPublications/ProfConduct/DisciplineDecisions/Garland_CRA_20130827.pdf
