A woman who recently served as Manitoba\u2019s commissioner of teacher professional conduct is disputing Premier Wab Kinew\u2019s version of what led to her departure.<\/p>\n
Kinew told reporters last week Bobbi Taillefer was fired after the government recently discovered she was working remotely in Florida during the winter.<\/p>\n
But Taillefer says, from the beginning, she told the government she would be spending time in Florida and working remotely.<\/p>\n
Taillefer also says she offered her resignation, and the implication she was fired is blatantly false and damaging to her reputation.<\/p>\n
Taillefer, a former teacher union leader, was appointed over a year ago as Manitoba\u2019s first commissioner of teacher professional conduct.<\/p>\n
The appointment came as the province established a public registry of teachers whose certificates have been suspended or cancelled due to misconduct.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A woman who recently served as Manitoba\u2019s commissioner of teacher professional conduct is disputing Premier Wab Kinew\u2019s version…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":604350,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194296],"tags":[49,48,22073],"class_list":{"0":"post-604349","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-winnipeg","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-winnipeg"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=604349"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604349\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/604350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=604349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=604349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=604349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
