Di­rec­tor of Pub­lic Pros­e­cu­tions Roger Gas­pard is re­view­ing the file on al­le­ga­tions of neg­li­gence, gross mis­con­duct and sex­u­al im­pro­pri­ety at the St Michael's School for Boys, Diego Mar­tin, where teenag­er Bran­don Har­g­reaves died.Har­g­reaves, 14, died on April 8 af­ter hit­ting his head on the con­crete floor of his dor­mi­to­ry, re­port­ed­ly while try­ing to drop­kick an­oth­er child. He had been sent to the school by the court.The find­ings of the re­port were dis­closed in the Sen­ate on Tues­day by At­tor­ney Gen­er­al Anand Ram­lo­gan who said de­tails of the claims were dis­cov­ered dur­ing a probe in­to the death of Har­g­reaves.

Dur­ing the in­quiry in­to the op­er­a­tions of the school, sev­er­al is­sues were dis­cov­ered, in­clud­ing mon­ey laun­der­ing, rack­e­teer­ing, il­lic­it sex­u­al li­aisons be­tween staff mem­bers and the boys, theft, neg­li­gence and abuse.It was or­dered by the Min­istry of Gen­der Af­fairs, Youth and Child De­vel­op­ment.Ram­lo­gan promised the re­port would be for­ward­ed to the DPP and act­ing Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Stephen Williams.In a tele­phone in­ter­view yes­ter­day, Gas­pard said it was "still re­ceiv­ing my ac­tive con­sid­er­a­tion and it might very well be that it war­rants a po­lice in­ves­ti­ga­tion."

Williams could not be reached yes­ter­day to find out if a po­lice in­ves­ti­ga­tion had been launched, as calls to his cell­phone went unan­swered.

Calls to the chair­man of the Chil­dren's Au­thor­i­ty, Stephanie Daly, and chair­man of the Child Pro­tec­tion Task Force, Di­ana Ma­habir-Wy­att, al­so went unan­swered.The An­gli­can Dio­cese shares re­spon­si­bil­i­ty for St Michael's with the Min­istry of Gen­der, Youth and Child De­vel­op­ment.In an in­ter­view on Wednes­day, An­gli­can Bish­op Clyde Berkley said he would seek a meet­ing with the school board to ad­dress the mat­ter.Calls to Berkley's cell­phone went unan­swered yes­ter­day.

Min­istry: New Arrange­ments

In a state­ment on Wednes­day, the min­istry said the school board was in­formed of the find­ings of the in­ves­tiga­tive team on May 7 and re­spond­ed in a let­ter dat­ed June 30. The de­tails of that let­ter have not been re­vealed.

The min­istry said it had ini­ti­at­ed dis­cus­sions aimed at im­prov­ing the man­age­ment arrange­ments for in­dus­tri­al schools and or­phan­ages, via a mem­o­ran­dum of un­der­stand­ing (MOU).

Pre­pared by the min­istry and re­viewed by the At­tor­ney Gen­er­al, the MOU was sent to four in­sti­tu­tions, in­clud­ing the board at St Michael's, but to date, there has been no feed­back.

The min­istry's di­rec­tor of Na­tion­al Fam­i­ly Ser­vices func­tions as the In­spec­tor of In­dus­tri­al Schools and Or­phan­ages and mon­i­tors the ac­tiv­i­ties there.

The min­istry stressed that the day-to-day op­er­a­tions at the school were per­formed by the man­ag­er, who al­so op­er­ates as the CEO, with re­spon­si­bil­i­ty to ex­e­cute key man­age­ment func­tions.

The board's purview en­tails im­ple­men­ta­tion of rules and pro­vides strate­gic di­rec­tion to the man­ag­er.
