The Calgary Board of Education (CBE) has settled a class action lawsuit related to the actions of two former teachers accused of molesting several students between 1988 and 2004.

The announcement was made in a written statement on Wednesday afternoon.

The CBE says the agreement includes a payout of $15,770,000 to the plaintifs, subject to court approval.

It also includes a statement that says “the CBE is sorry for the harm experienced by the class members and the impact of that harm on them.”

It further states that “the CBE commends the strength and courage of the class members who came forward to share their experiences and to participate in the court process.”

The two former employees have been identified in court documents as teachers Fred Henry Archer and Michael Gregory.
