PUP's UWG Urges Action Against Principal Willacey
posted (August 21, 2012)
School at Belmopan Baptist High starts on Friday and still the school management has not announced what it will do about Principal Norman Willacey.

As has been well publicized - Willacey is being accused of an inappropriate relationship with a 16 year old student dating back to March of this year.

And while the Management hems and haws, the PUP's United Women's Group has come out swinging.

A release from that group says, quote:

"The UWG finds this report against this individual very disturbing. At a time when our young people are faced with lack of opportunities and positive role models, those in positions of authority entrusted as the guardians of the welfare of our children and youth, must not betray this trust for their own selfish gratification." End quote.

The UWG also calls on the Ministry of Education, the Belize Association of High School Principals, the Baptist Association of Belize and the Belize Council of Churches to deal with the matter decisively.

Willacey first came to national attention back in November of 2009 when he expelled 19 year old transgender student Jose Garcia who was a student at the Baptist School of Adult and Continuing Education in Belmopan.
