Lilly Binion should be starting year 4, but she's been left without an education as the department tries to close her school without warning.
abc.net.au/news/teacher-pulled-from-rural-school-leaves-kids-without-education/101908794Lilly Binion was excited to start year 4 at Devenish Primary School, located in a rural community in northern Victoria, about 230 kilometres north of Melbourne, but her first day back to school was far from what she expected.
Ms Binion said there was also no communication prior to arriving on that first day informing parents that there would be no teacher.There were just two students enrolled last year when the department said it would consider permanently closing the school. School council member, Chris Gregory, whose daughter was hoping to start at the school this year, said the department was refusing to accept their paperwork.
"The second I unenrol her they will put a padlock on the gate because they see her as the only student," she said."I'm not going to unenrol her; they'll have to kick her out."
