Mr. Xavier Lambert

The Member, a school vice principal, pleaded guilty to professional misconduct for his involvement in irregular practices related to the administration of EQAO tests and the development of Individual Education Plans (IEPs).

He signed IEPs without consulting parents, authorized inappropriate test deferrals, and allowed students to write tests in a manner contrary to EQAO instructions.

The Discipline Committee accepted a joint submission on penalty, ordering a reprimand, an eight-month suspension (reducible to six months upon completion of conditions), and the successful completion of a professional ethics course.
