The problems at Morant Bay high, which started when the new Principal Dr Dalton Shaw took over the reigns at the school a few months ago, have now been resolved.
Commonsenseja has learned that Dr Shaw has been fired by the school board ( he will say he has resigned) and the board will now go in search of a new Principal.
Dr Dalton Shaw was hired after been booted from Mineral Heights Primary after an investigation was launched into his alleged uncouth conduct by the Ministry of Education, the results of which were never made public by the Ministry.
Dr Shaw has been accused of uncouth behaviour, plagiarism and down right laziness by the school. Even more damning is that a parent had written to the school board and a copy of that letter was also sent to Cisoca, who I am told is conducting its own investigation.
The allegations against the Principal are very damning and brings into very sharp focus the work that the Ministry of education must do to keep certain predators out of the education system.
It cannot be that we speak about protecting the kids, while we have predators running around and who have the potential to cause serious harm to the kids and the education system. Note, the information is said to be allegations at this stage, but I have certain information to suggest the problem is much bigger than this, but will allow the process to work as it is designed to.
I do hope the problem does not get transferred to some place in the “bush schools”, which is what typically happens in instances like these.
Commonsenseja will keep a keen eye on what takes place after this.
