The principal of a French Catholic high school in Orleans is leaving school this week, two weeks after students said imposing the dress code made them feel humiliated and humiliated.
In a letter to the parents and guardians of the Béatrice-Desloges Catholic High School, the Conseil des écoles catholiques du Center-Est said Marie-Claude Veilo would no longer be the school’s director and was now director of on-board training support services.
“I would like to sincerely thank Marie-Claude Velho for her great dedication during the three years she has spent as director of Beatrice DeLog Catholic High School,” said Jason Dupuis, director of education. “Since taking office, the school has improved its service delivery, in particular by updating its artistic concentration.”
The letter does not mention a flash for applying the dress code. A letter to parents posted on the school’s Beatrice-Desloges website by CECCE’s director of education said school management had been working remotely since May 13 to allow the council to investigate the application of the dress code.
The letter said school officials apologized during the students’ virtual messages, and deputy principals visited classrooms to personally apologize and “explain the process of reviewing the dress code to be introduced.”
Sebastien Faran will start as director of Beatrice-Delog on May 30. Faran has been with CECCE since 2004 and is currently deputy director of the Catholic High School in Garno.
On May 13, hundreds of students staged a protest in front of Beatrice-Delog to protest the staff’s “blitz”. Sophie Laby, 18, told CTV News Ottawa that she was one of the students called out of class for her wardrobe. Labbee said a teacher told her her shorts were too short.
“She said they had to be mid-thigh, and she made me do this weird test where I bend my knee, and she touched my thigh and showed me it was the middle of my thigh, and if it’s shorter than that’s inappropriate, “she told CTV News Ottawa.
In a letter to parents to explain the blitz two weeks ago, Veilleux said there were meetings with students to remind them of the school’s dress code.
“The blitz exercise was performed in all our classrooms to ensure compliance with the dress code,” Vellieux said.
Education Director Mark Bertrand told parents that the way the dress code was applied was unacceptable and apologized to students and families.
