Former Palliser superintendent terminated by board of trustees
LETHBRIDGE – Palliser Regional Schools passed a motion Tuesday (Feb. 28) to terminate employment for former Superintendent Kevin Gietz.
According to a media release, the motion goes into effect immediately without notice or payment in lieu of notice. Acting Superintendent Dr. Garry Andrews will continue to hold the position until Palliser moves forward with hiring a new superintendent.
Because this is a personnel matter, the Board of Trustees says it will not be making any further comments.
Back on November 24, the board received 21 recommendations from its organizational review. Robert Strauss, Board Chair, noted at the regular meeting, that a legal review of the 220-page document had been completed, and a motion was made to accept all of the recommendations in principle.
