A Port Alberni teacher has had his professional certificate suspended for one day because he used a student to “demonstrate a technique” during wrestling practice, without the student’s consent.
Russel Stephen Bodnar reached a consent agreement with B.C.’s Commissioner for Teacher Regulation, which was published on the commissioner’s website last week.
He admitted that his behaviour constituted professional misconduct, specifically by failing to appreciate the emotional and physical impact of his contact with the student without their consent.
Bodnar has served the one-day suspension of his teaching certificate.
