A number of concerned Carenne Special School staff have contacted Carenne Gate concerned about Michael Auld's plans to charge students or the school a fee to access the therapy farm at the Riding for the Disabled complex behind the school.
The therapy farm program, which many staff were told was being funded by RDA and Michael Auld was actually being funded by Carenne Special School, which the Snowden Review found was inappropriate. The issue follows claims that RDA has been charging the school $80 per student and claims that RDA received part of Carenne and Denison College's $3.7 million trade training centre funding due to Michael Auld being on both the RDA and TTC committees.
The program has been placed on hold while alternate sources of funding are investigated. Michael Auld told staff that participants may need to pay to access the program if it starts again which would of course be paid by either parents/carers or the school.
It is the latest in a string of scams by Mr Auld.
