**********
In summary Akehurst ignored & broke SD23 rules & regulations.
He conducted himself in a callous manner, leading to evil & criminal acts.
Akehurst ignored & broke SD23 & Government rules & regulations.
He conducted himself in a bully manner, leading to evil & criminal acts.
In wrongfully dismissing Custodian Fisher, Akehurst was "malicious, high-handed, outrageous,
reckless, wanton, entirely without care, intentional, deliberate, callous, disgraceful, willful,
exploitative and in disregard of Fisher's rights and indifferent to the consequences.”
Akehurst's reason for the dismissal without cause was that Fisher did not get along with the school Principal & Head Custodian, yet, Akehurst accepted the Principal's lies & distortions of events & the Head Custodian's on the job tyranny.
Any number of the above Akehurst evil & criminal acts, are far more severe than his reason for dismissing Fisher & should have been cause to fire Akehurst for gross misconduct. Akehurst was/is dishonest & delusional.
Most support worker's had Akehurst's number. They cautioned others about Akehurst's sly record of
taking what is said in discussion and twisting it around to mean something Akehurst could use against them
Akehurst is a cruel person short on ethical & moral character
Akehurst made a fraudulent statement on the Record of Employment as the reason for the layoff, yet all workers were recalled to work the next day, worked the entire so called layoff period & all were paid. There was no shortage of work as Akehurst falsely stated on the ROE.

Akehurst did not learn.. you should not do indirectly & illegally what you are not permitted by law to do directly & legally
