The board has faced widespread criticism that four of the board’s six trustees spent $50,000 for a week-long July trip to northern Italy, where they also purchased artwork
Statues depicting Saint Pio of Pietrelcina are seen outside a shop in San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy, March 17, 2018.Four trustees at an Ontario Catholic school board spent about $28,000 in public funds on airfare and $1,600 for a dinner while on a trip to Italy this summer to buy religious artwork for a new high school that is being built.
The four trustees expensed about $31,500 on transportation, according to the list of expenses. That included about $28,000 in flights and $2,100 for a car rental, along with costs associated with taxis, tolls, parking and fuel. Board spokesperson Tracey Austin did not respond to questions on the upgrades to flights or the hotels in Munich and Italy.
Mr. Petrella, the chair, has not responded to e-mails asking why the expenses policy was altered before the trip or provide details on the expenses to Italy. Ms. Dunlop’s spokesperson, Edyta McKay, has said that the governance review will examine discretionary expenses across the board.
