BASSETERRE, St.Kitts (Friday 30th April 2021)– Nevis’ Premier Mark Brantley has clarified that a matter currently being investigated at a secondary school on Nevis involved inappropriate behaviour and not any physical contact as it relates to reports concerning two male teachers and two female students.
