A dispute is happening between Ontario's education minister and a trustee about a charity using a school portable.

The Peel District School Board supervisor told trustee David Green to stop using a portable for storage.

Green is a trustee and executive director of Free For All Community Services, which used the portable.

Education Minister Paul Calandra said it's wrong for a trustee's organization to use school resources without paying.

Calandra said Green used a portable for storage for 10 years and must vacate it now.

Green has 60 days to remove items related to Free For All from the school.

Green said the agreement with the school board was long-standing and included free services.

Green said the issue is with the organization, not him, as he's just the executive director.

Free For All provided free programs to the school in exchange for using the portable.

The portable stored items like football equipment and computers for the group.

There's no official record of the lease, but Green sent an unsigned version from 2010.

Calandra wants the portable back and will oversee its removal.

Green was asked to remove the items and return the portable to the school.

Green thinks he's being targeted for criticizing the government's decision.

Green said the charity's work outweighs any conflict of interest.

The contract was between Free For All and the school board, not Green personally.

The school board supervisor's letter comes after the board was taken over by the government.

Education Minister Calandra has taken over several school boards and introduced reforms.

Calandra previously fought with trustees over expenses and technology purchases.
