The Supreme Court today overturned a Government decision to transfer principals from TN Tatem Middle School and Victor Scott Primary School.Parents and teachers present broke out in applause following this morning's ruling by Chief Justice Ian Kawaley that the Ministry of Education should have consulted with the two schools before making the decision in March.Victor Scott principal Valerie Williams and TN Tatem principal Francine McMahon, both said they were "ecstatic" with the decision.The Parent Teacher Associations hailed the ruling as an opportunity for better communication between parents and the Ministry of Education in the restructuring of the Island's public school system."The judicial system has triumphed by fulfilling its mandate to provide a forum for disputes to be addressed; and then to wisely apply the law, guiding the parties onto a path that provides a fruitful outcome for the benefit of society," read a joint statement issued by the PTAs today through their lawyer Eugene Johnston."The Ministry of Education has demonstrated its unwavering commitment to bring about much needed changes to education at a crucial time. Its determination in this regard has now provided opportunity for everyone to work together to ensure that those changes are for improved outcomes.Educators stand to gain by having the stage set to forge the kinds of relationships with parents, school community and the educational establishment that provides the best opportunity for positive results in furtherance of their mandate to 'educate'."The statement continued: "Most importantly, the judgment is a victory for our children in that they will no longer be systemically deprived of their parents working with decision-makers to guide their educational development."Finally, Victor Scott and TN Tatem PTAs jointly extend our utmost appreciation to our respective members for their courageous commitment to see this matter through to this stage of its outcome. We the executive members sincerely hope that parents will continue the momentum, and rise to the occasion going forward, to see to it that the best decisions are made to improve education in ways which advance Bermuda."
