A college principal has quit her job following months of controversy and speculation.
Lynne Howe, of Redcar and Cleveland College, was suspended from duty in July and has been on "garden leave" since, following an appeal against her suspension. An inquiry into unspecified allegations has been carried out.
Neither Ms Howe or the college is saying why she has resigned.
Deputy principal Alan Old remains at the helm while the board of governors decided whether to appoint a new principal.
