Highly paid goons & bullies running BC's public school system are hard to catch, because the "code of secrecy" is systemic. Once in a while a piece of evidence slips through. Coquitlam school district power-house Julie Pearce sent this letter as to the 3 lame reasons her district attacked the Frank family with BC Section 177 law. Remember BC Sec.177 is supposed to be used only for "public danger & safety" of students and staff, of which at no time was there any physical public safety issue what-so-ever from Murray & Karen Frank who are upstanding citizens in the community. BC Sec.177 has been used by other school superintendents in British Columbia as a tool to intimidate & silence. Soon after this letter, Julie Pearce transferred to the Vancouver School district (where the infamous Ciarniello Sec.177 case made the news). Julie Pearce soon left Vancouver & like many in this Sec.177 saga, has slipped off the radar. In BC, once a superintendent is retired or moved, sneaky legislation insulates them from investigation by the corrupt/crafty folks in government that write BC Teacher Regulation Branch policy. The amount of money & lawyers Coq SD has deployed to suppress FOI disclosure (Click here) regarding the Frank case & others is breath-taking. Click here
1) "you have made multiple complaints to the Teacher's College" (which was re-branded to Teacher Regulation Branch after a court case exposed epic "dysfunction")
2) "you have created a website"
3) "you have made allegations" ( against a teacher ).
WOW ! Coquitilam SD used a law on the Frank family because they exposed the school district ! Now the "code of secrecy" is in full swing to bury all other Sec.177 FOI documents due to potential for massive law-suits. Click here & here & here

The last passage in Julie Pearce's letter truly captures the sad but growing nasty of British Columbia bullies in governance. School districts & the BC government are aware the vast majority of citizens (parents & children) can't afford thousands of dollars & time off work to challenge Sec.177 injustice. But Ms Pearce & other bullies know corrupt/oppressive BC politicians (Liberals & NDP) will supply millions of dollars (of taxpayer money) supporting school superintendents with time off work & the most expensive legal representation to beat down citizens & children to a pulp with the adversarial & over-whelming BC Supreme court legal system.
