Integrity Commissioner Sandhya Kohli’s report makes for confusing reading at times, and many trustees and community members raised serious issues with how the report was approached, the method of the investigation, as well as the harsh singling out of Trustee McDonald, who has advocated for community members trying to get answers from the board.


A Peel District School Board meeting Tuesday erupted with anger after trustees and Black community members ripped into an integrity commissioner report that exonerates a trustee who used a racially charged nickname to describe a middle school. 

Another trustee who has fought to get answers, suggested she might take action against the commissioner for disparaging her in the controversial report.
