An elementary school principal in British Columbia has been suspended after helping a school staff member duct-tape a student to their seat in an alleged bid to help the child focus.
Renee Dawn MacCormack was working as an elementary school principal for the Southeast Kootenay school district during the 2023-24 school year when she authorized another staff member to use duct tape to secure a student to their chair, according to the consent resolution agreement signed by the principal and the B.C. commissioner for teacher regulation.
