Saskatchewan teacher ‘having a bad day’ fined for throwing marker at student
REGINA — A Saskatchewan teacher has been reprimanded for throwing a white board marker at a student, hitting her above her right eye.
The Saskatchewan Professional Teachers Regulatory Board held a disciplinary hearing last fall for Michel Andre Joseph Levesque after a formal complaint was made.
The decision, posted on the board’s website, says Levesque threw the marker to get a disruptive student’s attention in a Grade 9 shop class on Nov. 15, 2015.
Instead, it hit another student above her right eye, causing a cut and swelling.
