Concerned about the current state of play, parents of students at Alexandra School are to get a legal opinion today on the best way forward.

This diclosure last night from Rhonda Blackman, president of the National Council of Parent-Teacher Associations (NCPTA) following an emergency meeting with the Alexandra School PTA.

Blackman told the SATURDAY SUN that Cecil McCarthy, QC, will speak on the Education Act and how it relates to parents’ rights. She called on all parents to turn out at the 4:30 p.m. meeting to be held in the school hall.

Asked specifically about the organization’s thoughts on the appointment of a Commission of Inquiry by Prime Minister Freundel Stuart to investigate the impasse at the school, Blackman said it was a process that would take some time.

Read the full story in today's SATURDAY SUN.

Posted by Mr Psychotic 1 year, 1 month ago: They should have sought this legal advice nearing the end of last term or definitely during the holidays; I expected that this matter would have surfaced again, why didn't they? Certain measures should have been already put in place whether or not the teachers had resumed their duties.
