Joe Thiessen, superintendent and CEO of the division, which manages public schools in Steinbach, Niverville, Landmark, and the rural municipality of Hanover, said the EAs have to be let go due to a funding shortfall related to changes in the application process for Jordan's Principle programming.

All 93 EAs being laid off were specifically working with Indigenous kids, Thiessen told CBC Manitoba Up To Speed guest host Emily Brass on Thursday.

He blames the situation on miscommunication from the province. Recently, the funding model shifted from a provincial one to a federal one, which the Hanover division was not aware of.
