I would advise against these courses of action. Not only is it untrue
that he has not been paid, but the above actions would appear to provoke
and escalate the situation rather than try and resolve it. It's also
using the students and parents as unwitting pawns in this negative
escalation.
I would suggest talking. Arrange a meeting with the head of the school
and reiterate the sequence of events. Seek clarification on the letter
and the subsequent payment. See if the head can see the situation from
your point of view. Ultimately see if you can come to agreement and an
arrangement which suits both parties. I'm sure this approach will have
a far more speedy and positive result.
