On November 7, Mr. Nguyen Bac Viet, Chairman of the People's Committee of Minh Hoa district, Quang Binh province, confirmed that the district's disciplinary council had just disciplined Ms. Dinh Thi Bui Chung, Principal of Quy Dat Town Kindergarten No. 1, who caused a stir in public opinion for grabbing the microphone and pointing at the head of the parents' association during the year-end ceremony in May.

"For her violations, Ms. Chung received a disciplinary reprimand," Mr. Viet said.

In addition, Ms. Chung was also pointed out by the district inspector for many other violations in the fields of management and finance.

The inspection team determined that after receiving 19 personal lockers for students, Quy Dat Town Kindergarten No. 1 established a receiving team, but the school itself later received them. In addition, the minutes of handover of these lockers were inconsistent, with one side stating that it was the executive committee of the parents' association of each class, while the other side stated that the sponsoring unit was the representative committee of the parents' association of the school.

The school's leaders were also found to have spent more than the prescribed amount and to have paid for entertainment without having any previous working minutes.

The inspector also determined that the school collected labor fees of 20,000 VND/student, exceeding the regulation of 6,000 VND/student.

In addition to being disciplined, Ms. Chung will be classified as not completing her tasks for the year and will have her salary increased late.

For financial violations, this principal will have to pay back according to the district inspector's conclusion.

As VietNamNet reported, at the end of May, social networks in Quang Binh were abuzz with a clip recording Ms. Dinh Thi Bui Chung grabbing the vice principal's microphone, pointing at the parent association president and preventing him from speaking about the irregularities in the school's socialization of locker purchases for classes.
