"The school board says Beattie has decided to take medical leave. According to school board chair Maya Russell the board does not have the ability to remove a trustee in this case under the School Act, but are requesting she resign immediately."

Does she think she will be able to come back to her job after this?

Holy shit I saw this story go apeshit on Twitter a few days ago and didn't twig that it stemmed from local news.

Everything about this was absolutely wild, some legitimately unhinged behavior from the trustee. They're hinging borderline criminal in their conduct, even with the account taken down and all the rest ... how would trust be restored? Why would anyone out there believe she won't have another "health issue" and simply make a new throwaway that's done a better job of hiding its' tracks.

Yeah, this is just bizarre. I posted about this a few days ago, before Monday's statement and the calls to resign. I'd seen she was blaming "health issues," but no way did I expect her to take a taxpayer-funded vacation, where she's probably spending even more time trolling on Twitter.

And of course she was a COVID denialist, too.
