The officials claim to have received reports from Auld's former aide Melinda Gavin that he has leaked confidential school information, misappropriated school funds and property, sexually harassed staff and assaulted students.
Gavin gave an interview to EPAC officers at the beginning of term claiming that -
- Auld had accessed confidential information on school computers in 2009 and 2010 and had leaked it,
- Auld planted evidence on staff computers to implicate staff,
- Destroyed documents implicating Lee Churches, Margaret Rowe, Simone Russell and himself,
- Diverted funds to RDA,
- Stolen school property,
- Had inappropriate conversations of a sexual nature with make students,
- Gave students pornography,
- Showed pornography in class,
- Inappropriately touched female students,
- Made unwanted sexual advanced towards her, including exposing himself
These allegations come as no surprise given Auld's bizarre behavior. Auld's conduct places students at serious risk of harm. Despite being covered up by the school, Mr Auld had a checkered history with the department, having a number of issues recorded on his file for misconduct.
