The Waterloo Catholic District School Board did not finalize plans during its trustee meeting Monday night to fill an open trustee role.
A board spokesperson told Global News that the trustees are seeking further legal advice on how to proceed.
It will not be a by-election to replace Wendy Ashby, who announced two weeks ago that she was stepping down after a controversial few months in office.
Ashby came to light when one of his tweets started circulating on the internet. He has since deleted his account, but the police were called to a recent school board meeting to deal with protesters demanding his removal.
Screen captures showing Ashby’s now-deleted tweet saying, “The most dangerous creature on the planet is the white Christian male.”
He then issued an apology while the WCDSB moved to distance itself from him while also noting that it was conducting a regular review of his actions.
At the same time, the board also announced that it will investigate the incident.
The controversy continued when Ashby said he was harassed and bullied by those with opposing views when he announced his resignation.
