MONTREAL -- The high school teacher in Montreal who was suspended after being filmed repeatedly using racial slurs in class has been dismissed.

The school service centre that oversees Henri-Bourassa High School in Montreal North confirmed the dismissmal in a statement to CTV News on Friday.

"The board of directors met in extraordinary session last night," said Valerie Biron, from the Commission scolaire de la Pointe-de-l'Île (CSPI) in an email. "After careful deliberation, it was unanimously resolved to terminate the appointment of a teacher identified as having the number 13860."

The teacher in question, Vincent Ouellette, was suspended in October following complaints of his repeated use of offensive language in the classroom, after a video posted to social media showed him using the N-word.
