KEY POINTS:
A primary school has resolved a dispute with one of its teachers who was moonlighting as a prostitute.
The Herald on Sunday revealed last week the Auckland school's board of trustees would meet behind closed doors to decide how to deal with the problem.
Although prostitution is legal, the principal was worried how parents and pupils would react if they found out.
The Herald on Sunday understands the teacher told the principal to stop being the "moral police" and allow her to continue in her second job, to earn extra cash to help support her young family.
The issue came to light after a parent apparently discovered the second job and reported it to the principal.
A source said on Friday that since last Sunday the matter had been promptly and "amicably resolved between the teacher and the school board of trustees", but the exact outcome would not be made public.
The principal refused to reveal the resolution, including if the teacher had left prostitution or the school, or was continuing to work both jobs.
His only comment was that it had been "a very stressful time for everyone concerned" and he was still "petrified" his school would be named.
