Staff at an Auckland primary school dealing with serious misconduct issues have spent months restructuring its systems, including its banking practices.
Matipo Primary School, in Te Atatu, has had to call in the help of the Ministry of Education and now police, as well as other authorities, to help investigate historical serious misconduct issues.
As a result of those issues, a forensic audit, an IT audit and an asset register reconciliation have all been carried out.
Principal Paul Wright, who started last October, has worked closely with the school's board of trustees and staff members to make several changes.
In his report to the BOT last November, he outlined a number of areas that needed to be improved - and as quickly as possible.
