It's very hard to answer that question in the sense that you can say, you have a legal contract to fulfill with me. But if they decided not to, what is the Chief Electoral Officer's recourse, except moral suasion? Do you take a school board to court for a matter like this? Do you seek an injunction because they're deciding one week ahead of the polls? You have to apply reasonableness here.
What we try to do is accommodate their concerns. If it's something that happened from the time that they agreed to the time they're seeing that they should disagree, what happened in between? That's what we try to address. I think in the main we've been successful.
But I don't want to understate the looming problem I see with school boards. I think we're going to have to reach out even more to make sure there's a keen appreciation of the importance of the schools as public institutions, for which people pay with their taxes. They belong to the community.
