Corozal Community College Teachers Meet With Board Over Finance Officer Dispute

Over 50 teachers of the Corozal Community College finally met yesterday with their Board of Directors chaired by Father Thomas Stone in a meeting which started mid afternoon and went late into the night. The meeting was a request from the teachers to discuss the nine points of a letter they sent to the board and the way forward. The teachers wrote to the board requesting a meeting to discuss several points; chief among them is the removal of Finance Officer, Darrell Thompson, from his position. The letter dated September 30 highlights the unethical behavior of the Finance Officer, adding that (quote) “his actions have consistently demonstrated a lack of professionalism and respect for faculty and staff, and we can no longer remain silent.” (end quote). And while we’re certain that the finance officer has not been removed our sources say that the board decided to meet the teachers halfway on a few of the nine points. The board requested that the teachers discuss their proposal after which a meeting will be held to chart a way forward. LOVE NEW called the Principal Matias Cassanova twice but our calls were unanswered.
