PRINCE GEORGE — A teacher at DP Todd Secondary has been placed on leave while School District 57 investigates a video that went viral earlier this week.

The video shows an interaction between a student and a teacher where the teacher used the N-word.

School District 57 says support has been offered to the students involved and the greater school community as well.

Superintendent Jameel Aziz says he’ll be meeting with the impacted students and their parents on Thursday (Feb.27).

Aziz notes that the school district takes these matters very seriously and say they expect professionalism from all staff when they work with young people. He adds that further training and conversations will be considered across the school district.
