School board chair Bill Brassington said the decision not to join the Burnaby delegation had nothing to do with the fact a Mesa school board member is suing the Mesa school district over its guidelines for supporting transgender students.
The Burnaby board of education says its decision to turn down an invitation to travel to Mesa, Ariz. with a City of Burnaby delegation this week had nothing to do with the fact a Mesa school board member is suing the Mesa school district and superintendent over guidelines for supporting trans students.
"While the opportunity to have two representatives from the board to accompany the City of Burnaby delegation on this trip is greatly appreciated, I will respectfully decline," he wrote. "And while this is certainly an interesting opportunity, it does not align with the current priorities of the board."
When asked if cost was a factor in turning down the trip, the chair said "the cost for individual trustees to travel is not a budget priority that the board wanted to take on."
