There’s disquiet among the ranks of the Jamaica Teachers’ Association, JTA due to a hotly contested election for the post of President Elect for the 2014/2015 conference year.
A preliminary count of the votes and a subsequent release from the Association’s Public Relations Officer, has been recalled and withdrawn by the President. A statement issued last night by JTA Public Relations Officer Leaon Nash said following a preliminary count Principal of Harmon’s Primary School Georgia Waugh Richards received the highest number of votes following yesterday’s counting of votes from last month’s election.
She secured 6-thousand and 79 votes to Principal of Four Paths Primary and Junior High, Norman Allen, who received 5-thousand 996 votes. JTA President, Dr Mark Nicely, states that the results are not final so the contents of the release should be disregarded.
The president-elect will succeed Doran Dixon who vacates the post next month to take up duties as President.
