Sask. teacher fined $10K after throwing marker at student
A Saskatchewan teacher had 30 days to pay a $10,000 fine or his teaching licence faces suspension, following a disciplinary hearing last year.
In November 2016, the Saskatchewan Professional Teachers Regulatory Board (SPTRB) held a hearing for Michel Andre Joseph Levesque after a formal complaint was made.
The complaint alleged that on Nov. 10, 2015, Levesque threw a white board marker with the intention to get a disruptive student’s attention.
Instead, it hit a female student above her right eye, causing a cut and swelling.
