MALDON, St James – Angry parents of students attending the Maldon High School here disrupted activities at the school again yesterday, as they protested against the education ministry’s attempt to sack provisional principal Derrick Wilson.

Yesterday’s demonstrat-ion slowed the orientation for grades seven and eight students and has placed a doubt on today’s orientation for the rest of the school and commencement of classes for the 2006/7 school year.

The militant parents crowded the school’s premises and vowed to disrupt proceedings if Wilson was not allowed to continue in his job, despite the ministry of education’s installation last week of Devon Ruddock, a senior education officer, to run the school.

Wilson was appointed as provisional principal at the St James secondary educational institution two years ago, but the education ministry claimed that he had not met the criteria to be appointed to the job as principal.

In the meantime, the Supreme Court has barred the school board and the Ministry of Education from advertising the post of principal. The injunction, granted two weeks ago by Justice Roy Anderson, is to remain in force pending a resolution of the matter in the constitutional court in a judicial review.
