EXCLUSIVE: Families seek Ministry probe after Ontario principal linked to toxic workplace allegations
Juno News obtained audio and witness accounts alleging Saira Salman used her position as York Children’s Aid Society chair while serving as principal during an active child welfare case.
Months after resigning as Chair of the York Region Children’s Aid Society amid allegations of a toxic workplace and anti-Black racism, Hartman Public School principal Saira Salman is facing a separate set of allegations involving her dual role as principal and child welfare board chair.
Evidence including an audio recording, emails, court documents and more than a dozen witness statements shared with Juno News was submitted to the Ministry of Education as part of a brief requesting an independent investigation into Salman's conduct.
Salman was appointed principal of Hartman Public School in Aurora, Ontario, in September 2023 after serving as a principal with the neighbouring Peel District School Board.
