Public School Board Reacts To MOE Fine

The Director of Education for the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board says safety was never compromised at the schools in Upsala and Savant Lake.
An agitated Sean Monteith is reacting after the Board was fined $15,000 for violations under the Safe Drinking Water Act.
Monteith says the government is taking money out of the classroom and putting it into the pocket of the Ministry of Environment.
He stresses the non-compliance violations were related to record keeping and notification.
Monteith says student safety has always been the number one priority.
He adds they corrected the problems right away.
