The president of the Alexandra School’s Parent-Teacher Association (PTA)?yesterday accused the board of the school of being in continuous conflict with principal Jeff Broomes.
Carl Benskin, himself a board member, also told the Commission of Inquiry into developments at the school he felt board chairman Keith Simmons was at times unreasonable in his dealings with the principal.
But the PTA chief vehemently denied he came to the inquiry with the sole purpose of supporting Broomes and maligning Simmons.
He said his sole concern as president of the PTA was that students should be taught and be part of a satisfactory classroom environment.
