Ex-head banned for stealing £15k from two schools

Published by skeptic

A former headteacher who defrauded two schools of more than £15,000 has been banned from the profession. Neil Metcalf, 52, was jailed for 15 months in 2024 after pleading guilty to two counts of fraud. He abused his position as head to steal £10,800 from St Anthony of Padua Catholic Primary School, Liverpool, between 2017 and 2022 and £4,690 from Our Lady’s Bishop Eton Catholic Primary School, Merseyside, between 2022 and 2023. The fraud involved invoices relating to a company that did not exist, with the money instead flowing to Metcalf. Now the education secretary has banned him from teaching following the recommendations of a Teaching Regulation Agency panel, with a stipulation he cannot ask for a review of the decision for six years. The panel noted the former head’s conviction, and that he had opted not to go to a full hearing. It also noted his behaviour “ultimately led to a sentence of imprisonment, which was indicative of the seriousness of the offences committed”. ‘Direct impact on school resources’ The panel found Melcalf’s actions …

Whistleblower Complaint Alleges Misconduct at Palm Springs Art Museum

Published by José Betancourt

An anonymous whistleblower has raised allegations of misconduct by leadership at California’s Palm Springs Art Museum, claiming violations of the law and institutional best practices.  The whistleblower claims that the museum improperly moved funds between various accounts in order to meet severe cash crunches. The whistleblower alleged that a former director was forced out based on trumped-up staff complaints, and that the museum failed to even interview two qualified candidates to replace him before promoting an internal candidate.

And then he was cut loose for insisting on doing that lesser job with integrity and honesty,” according to the lawsuit. He is seeking $35 million in damages.
