The Hampton School Board has delivered a slap to the face of Education Minister Ruel Reid, stating that it does not support Principal Heather Murray going on leave, as indicated by the minister last week.
The board also made reference to a January 13 letter from Reid, saying that it did not reflect an accurate outline of the key decisions and agreements made in a meeting on January 11 between the minister, the board and Murray.
“At no time was the issue of the Child Care and Protection Act mentioned or raised,” Board Chairman Trevor Blake stated in a January 16 letter to Reid.
“There could never have been any agreement that the action of Mrs Murray was inconsistent with the principle of the Act, and we categorically refute that assertion,” Blake said.
