The Ontario Principals’ Council (OPC) has issued a statement following the suicide death of retired Toronto District School Board (TDSB) principal Richard Bilkszto, stating that employers have an obligation to protect their staff from bullying and harassment and that the TDSB clearly failed to do so.
The council said in a July 21 statement on Twitter that it is “deeply saddened and disturbed” by Mr. Bilkszto’s death and that “the health and wellness of principals and vice-principals across Ontario continues to be a priority for the OPC.”
