On Tuesday, Quebec Premier François Legault called it appalling to hear the teacher screaming on the tape. Another is being conducted by the municipal police department after allegations of physical violence were made against the teacher. The CSSMI has launched an investigation into the matter.

The CSSMI said a psychological support team has been at the school since Tuesday to help students and staff after compromising recordings of the teacher, who has 25 years of experience, were broadcast in the media. Questioned by reporters at the National Assembly, Education Minister Bernard Drainville also remained silent on the CSSMI's decision to replace the principal.

The Syndicat de l'enseignement des Basses-Laurentides, which has represented the suspended teacher since Monday, did not respond to The Canadian Press' call. 'The investigations are ongoing, and all necessary efforts are being made to restore a healthy and trusting climate at the school,'' said communications advisor Melanie Poirier. Late Wednesday morning, the CSSMI indicated it would not give any interviews on its decision, which was communicated by e-mail to parents of students at the school. Lyson Dompierre will take over from Eric Campeau as head of the school for an indefinite period. The new principal chosen has the experience and hindsight necessary to manage the school and restore trust with parents and students,' she said. In this context, and without putting anyone on trial, it seems appropriate to make changes quickly. 'At the same time, administrative and police investigations are underway and must be carried out under optimal conditions. We have a responsibility to restore the climate to ensure a safe and healthy environment for our students and staff,' said Nathalie Joannette, chair of the Mille-Îles School Service Centre (CSSMI), in a statement on Wednesday. 'Clearly, the bond of trust has been broken between parents and the school.

The incident happened at École des Grands-Vents in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac, an off-island suburb near Montreal. The principal of a Quebec school has been replaced one day after a recording surfaced showing a teacher shouting at her Grade One students.
