It is astonishing that parents should defend a head teacher who has systematically abused her position and then sought to dismiss the allegations as either frivolous or malicious. In fact, as she has now admitted, they were entirely true. She then took up an appointment at another school, knowing that both the Police and the Teaching Agency were investigating her. She must have known that there was a high risk that she would be in this position and that would massively disrupt KSHS but, again, this was about Jo Shuter and not the interests of the students.

I also totally agree with everything you say. There have been many mistakes made, the most serious one by the Governors of the school (apart from two sensible ones) for agreeing her appointment as Head Teacher whilst under investigation for 'misappropriation of funds'. I think many parents have been blinded by the fact that she was (as qouted in the media) a 'super head'.  The fact that she 'claimed' 7,000 Pounds in 'expenses' from her previous school for her own birthday party speaks volumes about her character and lack of morals and principles - two things that any teacher (let alone head teacher!) needs when teaching impressionable children.  I think the most serious effect (if she is allowed to stay) of this sorry saga is the very likely possibility of any future parents not considering KS to send their children to and even more Jewish parents moving away from the area.  As someone has quoted about 'forgiveness' in a previous comment, may I quote the Ten Commandments - 'Though Shalt Not Steal'.
