The education director with the Rainy River District School Board says it has been as open as it can be with a Fort Frances resident who's asking the Education Minister Kathleen Wynne to launch an investigation.

Jack McMaster says David Kircher has every right to ask for the probe, but feels the board has complied with Kircher's many requests for information.

"When the question is posed, and we feel there is a legal entity,we have sought legal advice and have provided the best answers we could," says McMaster.

"I know he was looking for some personnel information," McMaster adds, "that we just could not give him." 

Last week, Kircher set up an on-line petition calling for the investigation.

A number of local residents have signed that petition.
