The special education teacher from the Hamilton area is among the Canadians victims, her employer said Tuesday.

The Grand Erie District School Board issued a statement confirming the death of Tanner, who worked as department head of special education at the Hagersville Secondary School near Hamilton.

“We would like to express our deepest sympathies to Dawn’s family, her friends and everyone connected to this tragic loss,” the statement said. “Dawn will be deeply missed and this sudden loss is being felt across our board.”

The Grand Erie board did not share why Tanner, who had worked at the school since 2005, was aboard the jetliner. But its statement detailed a career shaped by her efforts to connect with students.
