A former Ontario teacher says she has settled a defamation lawsuit against her previous school board after the board chair called her “transphobic” when she tried to raise concerns about the content of some books in school libraries.
The Ontario Court of Appeal had in November 2024 permitted Carolyn Burjoski’s defamation lawsuit against the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) and former school board chairman Scott Piatkowski to proceed, after the school board appealed an earlier court decision allowing the case to go ahead.
