VG school to lose principal, assistant principal

The next school year will start without the current principal and assistant principal being in charge at Bregado Flax Educational Centre (Secondary Division) on the island of Virgin Gorda.

Both of them will retire on September 1, according to information published by the government.

Glenda Stevens assumed leadership of Bregado Flax Educational Centre two years ago. Before that, she was a teacher at Elmore Stoutt High School.

The start of her tenure as principal in September 2015 automatically ended Paul Fenty’s stint as acting principal at the school.

Fenty later became the assistant principal.

The government has not disclosed who will take up leadership of Bregado Flax Educational Centre (Secondary Division) when the new school year starts in September.

Meanwhile, in relation to appointments elsewhere in the Ministry of Education, the government stated that Arthur Selwood has had his “temporary appointment” extended from May 5 this year to May 4, 2019.

He has been serving as Education Officer responsible for school governance and principals.
