Coutts-Trotter threatens striking teachers with the sack, does nothing about Carenne

A report in the Sydney Morning Herald by Anne Patty yesterday indicated that Michael Coutts-Trotter, Director-General of the Department of Education and Training has threatened teachers who obstruct NAPLAN tests with disciplinary action. The strikes led by the Teacher's Federation are in defiance of an order by the Industrial Relations Commission.

Coutts-Trotter told SMH -
''The question to school leaders is will you meet your responsibilities under the Teaching Services Act. It would be a very serious breach of professional and moral responsibility if you were to actively obstruct a child getting the assessment. Some people could react in a way that could trigger disciplinary action,''
Coutts-Trotter, who has been informed of the plethora of issues at Carenne Special School in Bathurst including child abuse, fraud and harassment has refused to do anything about it. Three executive staff of the school continue to work, despite being the subject of serious criminal charges in the local court.

One of those executives, Lee Churches is also a director of the corrupt organisation at the centre of the Carenne Gate affair, Carenne Support Limited which is accused of ripping off the Special Needs Transport Scheme, failing to do maintenance on its vehicles and using a vehicle for three days which had human faeces on the front seat.

There have also been allegations posted on this blog, with evidence, of other staff engaging in behaviour which would be considered misconduct without any action by the department.

It shows that Coutts-Trotter and his departmental colleagues support what is happening at Carenne Special School.

Julie they all need sacking fancy covering up abuse of disable children i bet it would not be covered up if it was their children.

Of course it wouldn't, Janelle Kemp made a complaint to transport the day that Richard didn't strap her son into the bus properly. As soon as it's someone else's child it doesn't matter. She looks the other way.

I ♥ Janelle said...

Janelle would never cover up child abuse. Cut the rubbish.

I know for a fact Janelle Kemp has dobbed in Richard because she told me she did. She wasn't happy about how they strapped her son into the bus. When the same thing happens to someone else's child she couldn't care less.

When you look at how she got the job, you can see why she is so indebted to the Klan, she owes Lee Churches.

Then look at how her niece got a permanent job.

Janelle Kemp whinges about everyone and then had the hide to bitch and moan when someone complained about her getting the job that was fixed up for her (Lee Churches said a week before that she was going to get the job and that her and Lyn were going to fix up the interview panel). They don't like it when it is on the other foot.

Now we can understand why Labor dont want to look into alledged fraud in a public school. SMH link http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/independent-commission-against-corruption-icac-hearing-into-nsw-labor-mp-for-penrith-karyn-paluzzano/story-e6freuy9-1225861640989 Parlimentary Secratary for Eduction 'Culture of corruption' in MP's office: Keep in mind our Premier Kristine Keneally has been comfortable supporting this MPs attack on a whistle blower. In fact the parliament has employed a tool to investigate the whistle blower, now there is a surprise.

The reason Michael Coutts-Trotter has has refused to do anything about it is due to the fact that these accusations are twisted & fabricated well beyond the truth. This blog is so full of shit!
