A former prominent leader in the B.C. education community has been charged with one criminal count of fraud in connection with her work as a certified management consultant.

Reggi Balabanov, who was president of the B.C. Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils from 2000 until 2003 and was later appointed by the Liberal government to the regulatory body responsible for policing teacher conduct, was charged last summer but the charge was never made public.
