CHARLOTTETOWN -- P.E.I.'s opposition leader is calling for swift government action after an independent report found that the province did not have an adequate system to track cases of staff sexual misconduct.
Liberal Leader Robert Mitchell says policies and procedures need strengthening and says there needs to be better communication between administrators and the school board.
On Tuesday former provincial chief justice David Jenkins released a report saying school administrators are unable to track records of misconduct elsewhere in the network, including if a teacher was blocked from working at another location.
The report calls for the creation of a centralized system to track incidents of misconduct involving school staff along with stronger employee screening and the development of sexual misconduct policy.
Mitchell says his party will support Education and Early Years Minister Robin Croucher on any good policies that come forward.
Croucher said in a statement Tuesday that changes have already been made to improve student safety and those will be compared to the report recommendations.
