The board of St Hilda’s Diocesan High School for Girls has reinstated Jade Bascoe as head girl.
This follows a meeting of the school board on Thursday to review the recent decision to rescind her appointment
The Board said the review was in response to requests from the Ministry of Education and the Office of the Public Defender, and in a desire "to continue to uphold the tradition which has characterized the institution and the Office of Head Girl."
The meeting of the Board was attended by the principal, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education and its regional director.
The board and ministry officials held discussions with Jade and her mother, Rhonda Clarke, both of whom indicated that they would welcome Jade's reinstatement to the position of Head Girl.
The board said its investigation revealed a series of miscommunication and misunderstandings occurred amongst all parties concerned, and that there was no attempt to discriminate, harm or embarrass the student, or to bring the name of the school into disrepute.
Public Defender Arlene Harrison Henry, in her report on the matter, had concluded that the school discriminated against the student because of her religion.
