A seat on the Winnipeg School Division‘s board of trustees has been declared vacant.
The Winnipeg School Division announced Monday evening that it had formally vacated the Ward 5 seat due to trustee Cindy Murdoch’s failure to attend regular board meetings.
In a statement, the division said it was acting in accordance with a Public Schools Act bylaw requiring approval from the board if a trustee misses three consecutive meetings.
Murdoch was previously suspended by the board in 2020 for breaching its code of conduct.
