History

The Pelly Trail division made a controversial decision not to allow Manitoba Premier Howard Pawley to address a group of high-school students in 1985. Trustee Len Derkach argued that the school board "wanted to keep politics out of the school system", although a spokesperson for the premier indicated that the talk would not have been partisan in nature. The spokesperson added that Pawley had never been refused permission to speak to students before. [2]
