Merl Grove dispute boils over

THE smouldering dispute at the all-girls Merl Grove High School in St Andrew boiled over into the public space on Monday, with scores of teachers taking to the streets to stage a silent protest.

Teachers at the school, who refused to speak to the media during their protest, left little doubt that they were opposed to the actions of Principal Dr Marjorie Fullerton who returned to the post in March following a Supreme Court ruling.

Fullerton was first appointed to the post in 2016 but was ousted by the school’s board — based on a recommendation of its Personnel Committee — in 2022 after she was suspended in September 2021.
