Photo: NZ HeraldA school that hired a disgraced former teacher while he was under investigation by the teaching council has called for an urgent meeting with families to discuss their employment processes. A mandatory report was received by the Teaching Council in September 2019 regarding concerns about Taurapa. Taurapa went on to work at two other schools, Hornby High, and then Te Kura Kaupapa Māori Te Whānau Tahi, a Māori immersion school. On Saturday, Te Whānau Tahi posted a statement on its website.
