Parents stood firm at the Lower Crossroads High School gate.

Teaching and learning at Lower Crossroads High School were disrupted after angry parents shut the school gates in protest, demanding that the caretaker principal leave the school.

Parents gathered outside the school expressed concerns about what they described as the principal's “dictatorial behaviour.”

They accused him of making unilateral decisions without consulting parents, staff, or the broader school community.
