The Quebec government has appointed monitors to address a “toxic” climate of fear and intimidation at a French-language Montreal primary school, where some teachers allegedly subjected students to violence and claimed autism didn’t exist.

Two monitors started working on Tuesday at Bedford school in the city’s multicultural Côte-des-Neiges district, Quebec’s Education Department said. They will investigate the allegations at the school and report back by Nov. 30 with recommendations and an action plan.
