Former Principal of Belmopan Baptist High, Norman Willacey has been officially fired.
A press release was sent out today by the Baptist Association of Belize, stating, quote, "after its investigation and deliberation the Management found the allegations to be true and recommended Mr. Willacey's immediate dismissal and revocation of license.
It continues by saying, "the Teachers Service Commission has approved the recommendation of the Board in regards to the immediate dismissal of Norman Willacey. A decision regarding the revocation of his teaching license will be conveyed at a later date by the Teaching Service Commission", end of quote.
Thus ends an embarrassing and unfortunate episode in which Willacey - as Principal, counselor and pastor admitted to, quote, "fooling around" with a 16 year old former student.
It's arguable, but the case may not have come to light with such urgency of the young lady's mother had not gotten frustrated with the official process - and short cut everything by coming to the media. Willacey admitted top wrongdoing in a mis-sent text - which he meant for his lawyer but sent to a reporter.
