The mystery surrounding the sudden departure of the region’s public school board boss jeewan chanicka has persisted a year after his surprise exit.
The former director of education, who left the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) in an abrupt fashion in December 2024, still took home a sizable paycheque last year.
The sunshine list, which makes note of a number of public sector employees in Ontario making a salary of $100,000 or more, was recently revealed that chanicka received a salary of $276,999 in 2025 from the WRDSB, a year he did not work.
