Karla Homolka no longer allowed to volunteer at N.D.G. school
Convicted killer Karla Homolka will no longer volunteer at a private
elementary school in Notre -Dame -de -Grace.
After reports surfaced Tuesday that Greaves Adventist Academy
had allowed Homolka to supervise students on a field trip in
March, the school initially defended its decision. In fact, one
parent said administrators asked him not to send his child back to
the school next semester (http://montreal2azette.com/news/local-
news/,areaves-academy-parents-who-criticized-karla-homolka-say-
school-asked-them-to-leave) after he complained about Homolka
interacting with students.
The academy, a private Christian school, appeared to walk back its
stance Thursday.
"We have heard and listened to the concerns of parents and
members of the community uncomfortable with recent reports in
the media," a statement from the school reads. "No one with a
criminal record will be allowed to volunteer in any capacity on
school grounds."
Under provincial law, anyone who wishes to volunteer at a school
must undergo a criminal background check. Asked if the school
applied this scrutiny to Homolka before the field trip, a
representative from Greaves Adventist Academy said they were
aware of her notorious past.
Parents at the school first became aware of Homolka's presence
on campus after a neighbourhood man passed out leaflets about
her crimes.
"When I first read the (leaflet), I thought it was a hoax," said Andy
Maraj, whose daughter attends Grade 3 with one of Homolka's
children. "But then I saw her and I saw her walking around with her
dog for the children to play with. I told my daughter: `This lady,
don't want you to go near her please. If she calls you, don't go near
her and call me,' because I don't trust the school."

Homolka served 12 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to
manslaughter in the deaths of two schoolgirls, Leslie Mahaffy
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie Mahaffyy and Kristen French
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristen French). She was released
from prison in 2005.

It seems the broader issue is the absence of criminal background checks for volunteers
at the school, so other private/public schools may want to check their policies.

don't know about the school board in this article but I am a retired teacher
from a board in Ottawa. Regular volunteers who will be in the school all year
and will work with children in small groups are required to have the police
check. One-time volunteers for a field trip are not.

Her parents went to bed with instructions to Karla and Paul not to let Tammy
drink any more the night she was killed. There was video taken that night
showing that Tammy was drunk. What kind of parents would allow their 14 year
old daughter to drink. What kind of mother would ask one of her female co-
workers to have a threesome with her and her husband. Her parents raised
Karla and if you look into their back ground you would not feel sorry for them. I
feel that they should have been charged with contributing to the death of their
daughter Tammy.

Lesley North interesting, never heard that before..now that Paul is up for parole
in 2018, maybe Quebec will allow him and Karla to open up a daycare or home
