Dear Conwy County Borough Council,
The headmaster of Ysgol Awel y Mynydd in Llandudno Junction was suspended or removed from post over 18 months ago, he was put to work at the Coed Pella Offices in Colwyn Bay whilst an investigation took place. He has now been cleared of misconduct, but please can you clarify the following.
The Headmaster is paid around £75,00 a year, he was kept on full pay during the 18-month investigation.
1, What was the cost of the locum headmaster that replaced him for the period of the investigation?
2, What was the overall cost of the investigation?
3. Was the head of adult services who also sits as governance over the school involved in the disciplinary investigation?

Yours faithfully,

Donald Saunders
