ST CATHERINE, Jamaica — It has been reported that Shenoria Hemmings Lee, a language arts teacher at the Spanish Town High School in St Catherine, collapsed and was later pronounced dead at hospital.

The Jamaica Teachers Association (JTA) this afternoon said in a release that it is saddened by the death.

JTA President Howard Isaacs also said the association is extremely concerned about the number of teachers dying while on the job.
