A school principal has been placed on administrative leave following allegations of a serious nature involving several female students.
Because of the nature of the allegations, the principal cannot be identified. Sources say they were initially suspended several months ago while the Ministry of Education carried out a detailed investigation.
That inquiry has now been completed, and reliable sources indicate that further action is expected soon.
The development has sparked concern among parents, with some expressing fears the principal could be reinstated despite the seriousness of the allegations.
The principal is reportedly preparing to take legal action against the government over the measures taken.

In Antigua and Barbuda, the Sexual Offences Act (No. 9 of 1995) makes it unlawful to publish or broadcast any information that may lead to the identification of an alleged victim or accused person in a sexual offense case before the accused has been tried and convicted.
Know the Law I am still searching the story to see where exactly it talked about a sexual offence. Do you know something the ANtuguan public dont know. Please share.
@Know The Law, I wouldn’t be surprised if the accused would now use this premature “outing” to their advantage if a legitimate case is brought against him.
Life is really a cycle.
So sad. A very good teacher from an academic standpoint. Very good school plant manager as well. However, pedophiles come in all races , gender, profession and societal status. The human race gone, gone, gone.
@Tamia Correct, this article doesn’t mention anything that would fall under that act. Only the authorities and the relevant parties at this point know what the actual accusations are. He could be accused and placed on leave for giving excessive corporal punishment to students for all we know. (Just giving a scenario, I have no knowledge of the charges either way)
“Adding a new twist to the unfolding situation” Only Antigua news room can make something sound so grand.
What ever it is it must be serious the fact that it cant be directly divulged. I just hope its not what Im thinking
Good let me help you. And remember these principals are very wicked with disciplining people’s kids. Not because of law they cannot mention sexual offences. Cause if it was sexual offenses we would’ve seen a difference.
Tamia that’s the point: The article cannot mention anything about sexual offence because of the law.
Jarid Hewlett the article never said anything about sexual assault. Persons automatically assuming it’s that or maybe the rumours had already begun. I for one taught it might have been excessive force in administering corporal punishment. I am now wondering if it’s what is insinuated in the comments.
Anyway my best regards to your mom. She will always be my absolute favorite teacher ever!
Am just checking to see where it mentioned sexual assault.
Are you aware what the case is all about. Be careful.
No way above I saw the story speak of sexual assault or allegations. So I don’t know what y’all talking about lawsuit and all that. Anything a teacher- anything a person with such profession do outside the box is a serious nature. I’m lost and want to know it’s about but I sit and wait for the good part. Why jump to conclusion so fast?
