Students of Concepcion Presbyterian School Back in Class
Written by CTV3 Publisher Thursday, 23 February 2012 05:07
On Monday the Concepcion Presbyterian School in the Corozal District heard the roar of concerned parents who were in protest of the school board’s recommendation to demote Esther Mendez from her post as principal. As part of their protest, parents opted not to send their children to school. But late yesterday evening when we spoke to President of BNTU Corozal Rural Branch Mario Mesh, he told us that the children were back at school and that Principal Mendez had not been demoted from her post, at least for the time being.
As mentioned on Monday, the schools Board of Directors headed by Ismael Vallejo, issued a letter to the Ministry of Education requesting that Mendez be demoted by the 31st of January on the grounds of insubordination, orchestrating the ousting of the board, lack of proper financial management, promoting division among staff members and obstructing the work of the board.
As a result it was decided that an evaluation would be conducted after which a decision would be made. But with no proof to back up the accusations parents were in total disagreement with both the evaluation and Mendez’s demotion.
CTV3 News understands that the Parent Teacher Association of the school will be hosting a meeting on Monday the 27th in attempt to throughout the School Board. We will keep following this story and bring you the details as they unfold.
