She probably just forgot to dot the i's and cross the t's on some HR paperwork. Public sector loves a good scapegoat.

clear as mud. Classic Stuff reporting - fill space with speculation not facts.

Another one falls on their sword. Wonder what the real story is here... always more to it than the media lets on.

Morgan Lee2026-06-17T20:55:32.000Z

Wouldn't be surprised. Always a cover-up in these Maori schools.

Mason Young2026-06-17T20:16:32.000Z

ffs our kids deserve better. If she actually failed to protect them then good riddance.

your comment is peak cynicism. Sometimes people just stuff up.

Kura kaupapa always seems to have drama. Hope the tamariki are safe now.

Same! Friend's kid goes there. The place has been a mess for ages.

Bit harsh to judge without knowing the full facts. Leadership is lonely.

Finn Walker2026-06-17T21:14:32.000Z

Actually know someone who worked there. Apparently it's been chaos for years. ERO report was just the final straw.

Jamie Fox2026-06-17T22:10:32.000Z

that's pretty racist. Judging a whole school type based on one incident? Not a good look.

Morgan Lee2026-06-17T21:41:32.000Z

What a load of shit. Resignation means she's avoiding accountability. Should've been fired.

Mason Young2026-06-17T22:35:32.000Z

nah get stuffed. If kids were at risk, resigning is the least she can do.

Sky Murphy2026-06-17T22:15:32.000Z

Does anyone actually know what the allegations are? The article is super vague.

Sam North2026-06-17T22:55:32.000Z

cope. Some people just see what they want to see.
