Darrell Christopher Gilkes was hired as an on-call teacher in November 2022, but the district says it’s had no contact with him since he signed an undertaking not to practise in June 2023
A former on-call teacher in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district is facing charges of possessing and distributing or importing child sexual abuse images.
Nanaimo RCMP said they could not provide information related to the charges, as the matter is before the courts. Gilkes agreed to the undertaking when information related to the allegations was shared with B.C.’s Teacher Regulation Branch, part of the Ministry of Education and Child Care, a ministry spokesperson said. The spokesperson could not say how the Teacher Regulation Branch was made aware of the allegations in June 2023.
A letter posted online from Newmarket High School in Ontario to families last week called Gilkes a current teacher at the school and said the school was aware of recent media reporting on Gilkes’s charges. The staff member is not at the school pending the outcome of the investigation, the letter said.
