Merl Grove teachers revolt over principal’s leadership style

Merl Grove High School Chairman David Hall is warning that prolonged tensions at the St Andrew institution could undermine students’ success, as he calls on the Ministry of Education to urgently intervene following Monday’s teachers’ protest over the leadership of Principal Dr Marjorie Fullerton.

“It is urgent, and we want the best for our girls, ... but we cannot get the best if the teacher staff is not happy,” Hall told The Gleaner.

About 40 disgruntled educators staged a silent protest outside the all-girls’ school, displaying placards and demanding Fullerton’s resignation over what they described as concerns with her leadership style.
