Has anything changed since 2010? Heavy cost of education consultants in Prince Rupert

“I concluded at the time that since Doi had recommended Stigant, his assistant superintendent in Okanagan Skaha for seven years prior to Stigant’s retirement in 2006, and Hauptman, who had been Okanagan Skaha’s director of instruction, that he had done the work free of charge.”

Or maybe … has anything changed since 2009?

Nothing was done about it then, why does anyone expect anything to be done about it now? That would be admitting something was wrong in the first place, no? Best to just keep on doing what you’ve always done.

From 2010: "At a time when three elementary schools are studied for possible closure in Prince Rupert, their board paid an acting superintendent $800 per day for his services and another consultant $23,000 to help find a replacement for a superintendent who was abruptly replaced (at a cost of $144,802 for the remainder of his contract).

The two consultants are familiar to Herald readers – Dave Stigant and Gary Doi, both who were previously employed here by School District 67."
