Headmistress in Königs Wusterhausen surprisingly suspended!
Königs Wusterhausen is in turmoil: Heike Pioch, the long-time headmistress of the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Gymnasium, was suspended - just before the Christmas holidays! This decision, which caused a great stir, was confirmed by the spokesman for Brandenburg's Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport, Alexander Engels. However, the exact reasons for this measure are still unclear and have not been officially explained in more detail due to data protection reasons MAZ reported.
Pioch, who has been in charge of the high school since 2009, has not been particularly popular with students and parents recently. In particular, the problems with the Abitur exams, especially in geography, in which many students failed, led to dissatisfaction. Apparently the relationship between the headteacher and various school groups was strained, which ultimately led to her suspension. Mirko Hübner, a biology and geography teacher, is temporarily taking over the provisional management of the school, supported by deputy headteacher Leonie Mieth Springer supplemented.
Consequences of suspension
Pioch's suspension is the significant step that usually only takes place in the event of serious violations or a loss of confidence in an official's ability to serve. Such action usually requires solid justification and can result in numerous disciplinary consequences. The possibility of an appeal, which some concerned parents are considering, could be part of ongoing disciplinary proceedings. This procedure examines whether there were really breaches of duty or whether other factors led to the suspension.
Disciplinary proceedings can be initiated by the relevant supervisory authorities. Headmasters like Pioch have various powers and duties, e.g. to draw up instructions on how to behave in the event of breaches of duty. However, it should be noted that suspension measures can usually lead to complete deprivation of pay and serious consequences. The development of this situation will continue to be monitored while school operations continue to be guaranteed without Pioch.
