Court case with government

ROSKILDE:  COURT COSTS 'CHECKMATE'

Denmark, March 2003:  A number of Tvind schools in Denmark are not likely to be re-opened, after the Tvind-school in Roskilde had to drop a court case against the Danish Ministry of Education.   Unexpectedly the court costs were raised from 500 to 470.000 Danish Kroner.   The school in Roskilde can not pay this fee.
Government recognition of the school was withdrawn in 1999, because the Ministry of Education regarded the school as too dependent on Tvind.   The school wanted to try to prove that is not the case anymore, but because of the high court costs it will not have the opportunity to do so.    The same goes for many other Tvind-schools.

1998:  ROSKILDE HEAD 'TRIED TO DISGUISE' LINK WITH TVIND

The following is an excerpt from Steen Thomsen's 1999 Report to the Danish Government, in  which he described 'life inside Tvind' for 26 years.   He described Roskilde's attempts to disguise links with Tvind:

Once in the spring of 1998, Principal and TG member, Else Soerensen, made the decision together with her board, that with the purpose of disguising the connection between her school and the TG, she should officially hand over her job to her secretary. Now, the secretary had worked for eight years at the school, but probably this did not happen on her own initiative, probably she did neither possess the right qualifications. But now it could be pretended that the school did no more have the direct link via Else Soerensen to the TG, but with the secretary acting as a puppet on a string, Else Soerensen would still be able to run the policies as dictated from the TG. The decision was made. After the meeting, Else Soerensen informed Bodil Ross about the meeting and the decision. Amdi Petersen came up to the telephone and shouted furiously what the hell was going on? Should the TG hand over leadership of one of their schools to outsiders? And did they in Roskilde really think they could just do as they pleased, not involving The Common (=Amdi Petersen).      Straight after - which I guess you should be able to convince yourself about by examining the protocol of the board - Else Soerensen arranged a new meeting with the Board, and it was now agreed that the decision was to be cancelled: Else Soerensen was again the principal. I doubt the Board never realised what had happened.
