A British Columbia teacher named Alex Chen, who taught in the Saanich School District (Victoria area), has been disciplined for professional misconduct. Reports indicate he admitted to violations of professional boundaries with a former student and used sick leave in a way that led to disciplinary actions. He was terminated from his position in 2025, and the BC Commissioner for Teacher Regulation issued a two-week suspension of his teaching certificate as part of a consent resolution in 2026. Those outcomes are reflected in multiple local and national outlets discussing the case. [Sources in circulation include The Epoch Times, Victoria Buzz, VernonNow, and related outlets.]

Several outlets note the sequence: disciplinary concerns arose in 2025 (time theft and other conduct), which led to termination by the Saanich School District, followed by a consent agreement with the BC regulator in 2026 that imposed a two-week certificate suspension and a requirement to complete a professional boundaries course before returning to teaching. The reporting emphasizes issues around boundary violations with a student and improper use of sick leave. [See local reporting aggregations and BC regulator releases.]
