Bajan principal suspends 265 over uniforms

(Barbados Nation) Angry parents yesterday descended on the Graydon Sealy Secondary School, demanding the immediate withdrawal of 265 suspension letters issued by principal Matthew Farley for alleged uniform infringements.

The parents started converging on the former Garrison School compound from as early as 8 a.m. And by 10 a.m. more than a dozen could be heard outside the principal’s office loudly venting their concerns.

This follows Monday’s all-school inspection, carried out by Farley and other senior teachers, which ended with the issuing of the controversial letters of suspension to members of the 942-strong student body.

Police were called in to keep the peace, and when a team from the MIDWEEK NATION visited, the office was crowded with students and parents who were being met one at a time by the principal.
