The Burnaby school district’s new secretary-treasurer got the hell out of Dodge while the getting was good.
Russell Horswill, a seasoned K-12 moneyman with more than 30 years of experience in B.C. and Alberta districts, took up the secretary-treasurer’s role with the Vancouver School Board less than a year ago.
By September, he and the rest of the VSB’s senior staff were off on sick leave amidst allegations of “a toxic work environment.”
Horswill jumped ship and joined the Burnaby district Nov. 7 after Minister of Education Mike Bernier fired the whole Vancouver board and replaced it with a government appointed trustee.
