A FIFE teacher who was recently suspended and then re-instated has once again been placed on suspension from his post at Madras College in St Andrews.

The man involved is maths teacher Mike Barile, who was recently at the centre of national press coverage caused by an incident— still to be resolved—which divided staff at the secondary school and led to Mr Barile raising grievance procedures of his own.

In addition, a discussion forum on the school board’s website was closed down after it was inundated with comments from staff, parents and pupils relating to both sides of the argument.

It is understood that the new suspension relates to a separate matter, and Mr Barile said yesterday that for legal reasons he is unable to comment at the moment.
