School interrupted

An armed soldier stands guard as Windward Road Primary and Junior High School students walk to the playing field at the back of the compound to make room for Nomination Day activities yesterday in the Norman Gardens Division of the Kingston and St Andrew Municipal Corporation. The by-election arrangements clashed with the school’s sports day, leaving many to wonder why the school was in session. (Photo: Michael Gordon)
