On June 3, 1993, the parents of a child enrolled at a school operated by the Metropolitan Separate School Board (the Board) advised the principal that their child alleged that he/she had been abused by a teacher. The principal contacted the Superintendent of Education for the area (the superintendent) who advised him to contact the Catholic Children's Aid Society (the CCAS) and the police to investigate the matter. The teacher was suspended until the conclusion of the investigation. The suspension was lifted on June 22, 1993.
