I think I made myself very clear there will be no meetings at that school with me! You are a liar as you lied upon my son and Ms. Gage encourages and enables you to do it. There will be no meetings with a liar and an enabler and myself.
51.2 The parents also forwarded an email Mary Anne Gage about the suspension/expulsion the following day on October 7, 2022.

As you have indefinitely suspended our son, I would like for you to forward my number XXX-XXX-XXXX to the students’ parents and ask them to please call me. I would like you to explain to them about their son who is bullied and teased at your school. They have a right to hear it from a concern parent and fellow student who has witnessed this.
If you choose not too, I will forward my number through our son to C*** parents explaining that I have made this request through you and that you refused.
They most certainly have the right to know and be informed about their son’s best interest and safety while in your school under your staffs care.
Please confirm that you have not done so. If I hear nothing back, I will automatically assume you did not and will take alternative and appropriate steps to get in contact with them myself.”
51.3 Mary Anne Gage amazingly stated “In response to your email please know that your son has not been suspended from Connaught School.”

Hello, In response to your email please know that your son has not been suspended from Connaught School. However, the incident that your son was involved in yesterday requires us to meet with yourself and your son to ensure the safety of all students, including your son, is maintained at our school.
The regular process is that a principal speaks with all parties involved. You have been very clear that you do not want anyone speaking with your son without you present. We are attempting to book this meeting with you in order to move forward. We want to work together to have a positive and safe experience for your son. If it is your preference to not meet at Connaught School, we can arrange to meet at the Education Centre or have a phone conference.
In regard to your request of sharing your phone number with another student’s family, we can discuss this at our meeting.
51.4 It is a safe assumption to think that Jacqueline Ravazzolo is now very familiar with what happened between the applicant, his Autistic friend and the bully Hunter as she has now spoken with each individual student from the applicant’s French class. It makes perfect sense that at this point, 24+ hours later, Jacqueline Ravazzolo has now told Mary Anne Gage the entire narrative and that she herself is now fully aware of what happened.
