Ministry meeting with top St James High representatives following Monday feud
ST JAMES, Jamaica – A team from the Ministry of Education is presently locked in a high-level meeting with stakeholders at the St James High School in St James following Monday’s incident between the principal and chairman of the school board.
It is understood that the team from the ministry met with board members and heads of department.
On Monday the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) sent out a closure notice to parents, advising that it “cannot ensure a conducive learning environment until these grievances are fully addressed”.
Early Tuesday morning angry protesters used debris to block off the school entrance. The blockage was eventually cleared by the police.
