Ed Montgomery, a computer science teacher at
<http://schools.tdsb.on.ca/monarch> Monarch Park Collegiate, said in an
e-mail to ITBusiness.ca that he was given a note in May, telling him that
the Linux lab would be dismantled and replaced with a Microsoft-based
Classroom Migration Technology Initiative (CTMI) lab.

On June 21, according to Montgomery, Terry Wister, the head of school wide
services for Monarch Park, removed all of the Linux computers from the lab
room under the direction of the school's principal, Rob MacKinnon, while
Montgomery was out at lunch. When Montgomery came back from lunch, he said
all of the machines in the lab were running Windows.
