No they haven't got round to investigating misapropriation of Lagan College funds yet, but a Kent Headmistress who lined her own pockets from the School budget, has been convicted of theft and deception.
Headmistress Colleen McCabe, was convicted of embezzling up to £500,000/Half a million of her school's budget, to fund her luxurious and glamourous lifestyle.
Whilst school children had to share a text book between 3 pupils, and pay for their own exercise books, McCabe was living it up, on school funds and milked the school's £3million budget over the course of 5 years. Mc Cabe enforced penny pinching measures, getting kids to clean their own classrooms, whilst driving to school in an expensive Lexus sports car.
Former staff at the school said her extravagance had gone unchecked for so long, because it was underpinned by a reign of terror. A former colleague likened her to "Soddem in a skirt".
Now who does that remind us of, ring any bells at Lagan College.

Do you really want to hear more crap from Nesta/Cunstable/Sharon etc?
How dare you insinuate that Mrs McHugh the principle of lagan college, is 'Soddem in a skirt'. The woman is a midget witch bitch but hardly that. Is it her fault and the fault of bendover Basil 'kincora' McIvor that lagan college pupils have been educated in makeshift mobiles, stuck in the isolated countryside, for over 20 years. Is it her fault that there is a real lack of supervision of children in the isolated countryside spot, and that children are allowed to wander off and fall prey to Dismas house sex offenders. Surely you can't be implying that the aloof, brit establishment securocrats that run lagan college don't give a fuck about the welfare of their children or child protection issues.
