An ex principal who scammed $30,000 from a decile one school in Auckland has had her teacher's registration cancelled.
In a Teachers Disciplinary Tribunal decision released this week, Colleen Margaret Gray has been censured and her registration cancelled.
Ms Gray and her husband Bruce Kenneth Gray, 65, siphoned the money from Mayfield Primary School in Otara, using it on overseas trips and lavish meals between 2005 and 2007.
After initially denying the offending, the pair pleaded guilty to a total of 15 fraud charges midway through an Auckland District Court trial.
In May, Colleen Gray was sentenced to a year's home detention. Her husband received a 10-month term.
The tribunal said given the seriousness of the offending and the sentence imposed, it had no difficulty reaching the decision.
