The chair of the Rainy River District School Board says it's time school boards be included in "lame duck" legislation.
It restrict the decision making by municipal councils if most elected officials aren't returning in an election year.
Mike Lewis says it would have prevented the previous board from making the decision that's led to Fort Frances trustee David Kircher being found to have breached the trustee code of conduct.
"It was legal," says Lewis, "but I don't think it was ethical. Particularly since only two trustees (knew) they were the only two returning to the board because it was after the election. If this was a municipal council they would not have been allowed to do that because it's a lame duck."
Lewis says he's written several Ministries and all three Party Leaders requesting the changing.
