The Ministry of Education Transformation says it has spent the past two weeks addressing concerns raised by parents of pupils at Hillaby Turner’s Hall Primary School as officials continue to monitor health issues there.

In a statement issued yesterday, the ministry said its representatives along with officials from the Ministry of Health and Wellness met with parents on three occasions to provide updates, discuss concerns and respond to questions regarding the health and safety of pupils.

It pointed out that an online meeting was held at the request of parents on Wednesday, May 13, and Chief Environmental Health Officer Euroline Welch-Drakes addressed parents’ concerns, particularly regarding reports of rodents on the Farmers, St Thomas school compound.
