Saying she's tired of doing the government's "dirty work," school board trustee Lois Boone has announced she won't seek re-election when voters head to the polls next November.
Boone broke the news during the board's monthly regular public meeting on Tuesday and stressed her decision had nothing to do with the fact she intends to run for the NDP in the next federal election.
"I made this decision because last year, when we were doing the school closures, I was very disturbed by what we were doing," she said.
"It's no surprise to anybody that all of us on this board were forced to make cuts that none of us wanted to do...quite frankly I don't want to do the dirty work of the government anymore."
