NZEI Delighted
Acquitted Teacher Has His Job Back NZEI Te Riu Roa is
delighted that Levin school teacher, Mike Neville, has his job back following
his acquittal a month ago. “Mike is a member of
NZEI Te Riu Roa and the union has supported him throughout his ordeal, which
began 19 months ago when accusations were made against him,” says NZEI Te Riu
Roa National President, Colin Tarr. “The information the
union had from the outset of the case made it clear he was innocent of the
charges.” “We welcomed his
acquittal and now we welcome the news that he will be returning to the
classroom at the school where he has taught since 1995.” “The school’s community
is fortunate to have a teacher who is as dedicated and hard working as Mike.”
“We hope his return to
the classroom is a smooth one and that he is allowed to put the events of the
last 19 months behind him and resume a career he remains committed to pursuing,”
says Colin Tarr. |
