Former director of scandal-plagued York school board seeks more than $2M after firing
(The Star Fashion & Style)
 


The former director of the York Region District School Board — fired after a scathing provincial report cited his poor leadership and allegations he ordered staff to spy on each other — says his dismissal was unfair and that he is entitled to more than $2 million.According to his statement of claim filed in Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice, J. Philip Parappally is seeking $1.93 million in lost salary and car allowance over the remainder of his controversial 10-year contract, as well as unspecified damages for the loss of benefits and “moral damages” for “bad faith conduct” by the school board. Parappally also wants compensation “in an amount to be determined” for “loss of opportunity” because his unusual decade-long contract also included a job-for-life clause, providing him with a position as a senior superintendent in 2024 after serving as director, his claim states.He is also seeking another $500,000, saying in his statement of claim that the board did not accommodate a disability — which he says arose out of the stress of the negative media attention and the report on the York board under his tenure — and instead let him go, in addition to a further payout for “intentional infliction of nervous shock.”As director of the board, Parappally earned $276,000 a year, and his statement of claim notes he “had no disciplinary history whatsoever leading up to the termination of his employment” since he began working there in 2000.Parappally was heavily criticized in the April 2017 report from two provincial troubleshooters who were sent in after numerous complaints that the York board was not properly dealing with incidents of racism and Islamophobia, and amid trustee and staff misbehaviour.
