Brant Catholic school board chair won't resign but won't run for re-election amid $73K art spend and Italy trip controversy.

The Brant Catholic school board chair, Rick Petrella, will not step down but has decided not to run for re-election, following controversy over a $73,000 art expenditure and a trip to Italy. Trustee Tristan Blake has proposed discontinuing the use of an external law firm for crisis management and requested itemized legal fees. MPP Bobbi Ann Brady has called for the removal of the four trustees involved in the trip, and the Ministry of Education is conducting a governance review.
