## Resource

Angela Lowry, headteacher of Raddlebarn Primary School, has stepped down amid mounting financial chaos — deficits ballooned from $129K to over $405K in just one year, while non-teaching spending surged tenfold. Parents are furious, one has sued for full financial transparency, and the council insists governance was sound, blaming falling enrollment and rising costs. With no clear answers, the future of this beloved school hangs in the balance. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
