Ontario College of Teachers v. Desjardins, 2015 ONOCT 18

Teacher reprimanded and suspended for three months for unauthorized school entry and theft.

The Member, a teacher, faced allegations of professional misconduct for entering schools outside of work hours without permission and taking approximately $600 from a petty cash box and a pair of snowshoes.

The Member pleaded no contest to the allegations and admitted the facts.

The Discipline Committee found the Member guilty of professional misconduct.

The Committee accepted a joint submission on penalty, ordering a reprimand and a three-month suspension.

The Committee also ordered the publication of the Member's name in the College's official publication, rejecting the Member's argument that publication would hinder his rehabilitation from a pathological gambling disorder.

Ontario College of Teachers v Worthy, 2015 ONOCT 90

Teacher found guilty of professional misconduct for inappropriate supervision and alcohol consumption on school trip.

The Member, a teacher, pled guilty to professional misconduct arising from a school trip where he arranged for a male and female student to share a hotel room, allowed an unapproved adult to stay in his room, and consumed alcohol with the students.

The Discipline Committee accepted an Agreed Statement of Facts and Joint Submission on Penalty.

The Member was reprimanded, suspended for five days, and ordered to complete remedial coursework.

The Committee ordered publication of the decision without the Member's name, noting his prior unblemished record and the fact that he had already served a suspension from his school board.
