ON Monday, February 10, 2020, weeks after teacher and parents were charged for a series of offences, based on advice from the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), the charges against the teacher were withdrawn.

Tiffani Hinds, a teacher, on her first appearance at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, pleaded not guilty to the charges, when they were read to her.

Particulars of the first charge stated that, on January 15, 2020, at St Agnes Primary School, at Church and Thomas Streets, Georgetown, she assaulted Soyini Gardener.
The second charge stated that, on the same day, and at the same place, she provoked Soyini Gardener, with intent to insult or annoy her.

Police prosecutor told the court that, based on the advice from the DPP, they would be unable to proceed with the charges against the teacher.

Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus then withdrew the matters against her.
The matters against the parents Sherwin Dalrymple, Soyini Gardner and Kendacie Peters, will commence in March 2020.
