Rubadeau's Report an Insult

Another blunder by Superintendent Rubadeau.

Members of Kelowna's deaf community characterize a report from Rubadeau as an "insult and discrimination based on disability."

"This is an issue of human right..the deaf community consider deafness a cultural & linguistic difference rather than a disability."

"As far as the deaf community goes, we're very insulted by this (Rubadeau report)."

"We're going to spread this around Canada about this school board.."

The parent lobby group has accused School District #23 of misrepresenting the children and services in the district, saying qualified staff are easier found than the district lets on, citing the hiring of a floating interpreter last September, a posting they say was easily filled.

Rubadeau said that staffing is very difficult in the highly specialized field.
