The principal of East Preston Islamic College in Melbourne’s inner north has been stood down over unspecified claims of misconduct, despite commanding the overwhelming support of staff.
The principal of an inner-north Melbourne private school that began the school year by withholding its teachers’ pay has been stood down due to alleged misconduct, prompting an outpouring of support from staff, who are calling for his reinstatement.
The new board, which has been locked in a legal dispute with the old board, claimed it could not pay staff until the old board authorised the release of funds. All members of the former board were purged in a vote late last year. Fifty-four staff submitted applications for financial hardship payments before the dispute was settled.
East Preston Islamic College is owned by the Islamic Co-ordinating Council of Victoria, a group of 11 community groups in Melbourne.
