Two Teachers Accused of Sexual Misconduct at Corazon Creek Technical High

Two secondary school teachers from Corazon Creek Technical High School have been placed on administrative leave following allegations of sexual misconduct, according to official correspondence from the Belize Teaching Service Commission (TSC).

The TSC confirmed receipt of notifications from the school’s management, dated April 28, 2025, indicating that both educators were relieved of their duties effective April 29, 2025. The administrative leave is intended to facilitate formal investigations into the allegations.

In accordance with Rule 94 of the Education (Amendment) Rules, 2012, the leave period is set for a maximum of 20 working days, ending on or before May 27, 2025. During this time, the school’s management is expected to conduct a thorough investigation. Should charges be brought forward as a result, the administrative leave will be terminated immediately, and the management must then determine whether to place the teacher on interdiction.

The rules also stipulate that if a teacher is interdicted and no hearing is conducted within 30 days, the teacher must be reinstated without prejudice—provided they were present for all scheduled hearings. If no charges are filed following the investigation, the teacher will similarly be reinstated without prejudice to their status or salary.

Management may request a one-time extension of up to five additional working days if more time is needed to complete the investigation.
