School’s Parents Council ‘quits’ over pupil row [eniscorthyecho.ie]
- Published: 24 March 2011
A ROW over a dispute at an Enniscorthy primary school has led to its Parents Council voting to withdraw its services from the school.
It is believed that the Parents Council at St. Senan’s PS recently stepped down as a body, in the wake of a two-year old dispute involving the suspension of a pupil by the school, a decision which, however, was later overturned by the Dept. of Education.
According to reports, the Council group disbanded in early March, alleging that the school authorities had decided to keep the row under wraps.
Further, it is said that a number of individual members of the Parents Council resigned from that body because they claimed they were not receiving support from the authorities at the school.
The whole case centres on the reported suspension of the then-12 year old pupil at St. Senan’s in March 2009 for alleged misbehaviour.
