Wonder whats going on there for Bishop to threaten closure of school
Why do we let these creeps run schools still
anyone know what these issues of “unrest” actually are? do RTE have a minimum word count or something. I learned nothing
Or here’s a funny thought, hand the fucking school over to the Department of Education where it belongs. Some git in a satin robe should have no say in a school.
> If I have no governance or management structure, then I will have to look at other possible options **including divestment of patronage** and/or closure of Cushinstown school.
Oh now we wouldn’t want that now would we 😉
Well, in the absence of any information, it’s time for some ill informed idle speculation. I’d say two of the teachers are married and there was an affair with another member of staff and then everyone took sides and now nobody is speaking.
Alternatively, they’re all from the same extended family and there was a falling out about a will.
Anyone know what real problem is here?
The bishop has decided that this year’s crop aren’t sexy enough so he’s closing up shop.
Do the Dept of Education not run the schools?
They might own the property,but I wouldn’t have thought the church could take over the running.
What an article. No information 😂
Lads, I don’t think this has anything to do with the bishop, sounds like a staff shitshow that he’d very much like not to be dealing with:
“trained mediator was also appointed as part of a “procedure to address staff relations difficulties,” but this process failed to achieve a resolution, as did attempts by Mr Goff to get the parties involved to agree a framework for resolution.
The bishop said that “unrest and staff relation problems” in the school have been ongoing “for quite a number of years” but recent years have seen the situation “deteriorate”.
RTÉ News has attempted to make contact with the principal of the school, Carol O’Reilly.”
…….
“She said: “My own relationship with **many** of the staff here is very, very good. I came in as a new principal into the school and I am working well with the staff and the parents who come to me if they have a concern”.”
Sounds like a breakdown between staff and a principal to me, reading between the lines ..
Why does a bishop, of all people, have any say in the running of a school in Ireland in this day and age?
Nothing against this particular bishop or the specifics of the case, I just think it’s like something from a bygone era…
I just read it as Bishop threatens to close down Wexford.
