come on the heels of #5

教員としては人ごとではないのですが，賛否の別れる問題ですね。come on the heels of~はこれまでに何度も採り上げられてきた表現で「〜に続いて起こる」という意味。加えてobservation day（参観日）などの表現も押さえておこうと思います。（Koyamamoto）

Teacher takes leave on PTA day to appear on music program
A teacher at a public junior high school in the Chubu region took leave to appear on a music television program on her school's PTA day, it has been learned.
The teacher's actions come on the heels of a controversial case in which teachers in Saitama Prefecture attended their own children's entrance ceremonies instead of the ones at the schools where they worked. The cases raise questions about the proper conduct of educators.
The junior high school teacher, who is in her 50s, took leave to attend a live broadcast of NHK's Amateur Singing Contest this spring. That day her school was holding activities that included parents observing class and a PTA meeting.
