The future of schooling in the far north Queensland community of Aurukun will not be resolved until all parties examine the facts, according to the head of the Queensland Teachers' Union.
Kevin Bates has welcomed news of a review into Noel Pearson's Cape York Aboriginal Australian Academy campus.
But Mr Bates said that could only progress if all interested parties looked at the facts.
"This shouldn't be about scoring points," he said.
Mr Pearson has moved to defend the education model taught at his Aurukun school in recent days in the wake of criticism about its effectiveness.
Mr Pearson accused the government of using the school as a scapegoat when it decided to close it on Wednesday, after children as young as six allegedly threw rocks at security guards and attempted to break into a car near the teachers' accommodation.
Education Minister Kate Jones has rejected the accusation.
Mr Bates said issues facing the Aurukun community were complex and it would be "unfair and a gross simplification" for sole blame to be placed on the school.
"It may be a contributing factor but it's certainly not the cause," he said.
Mr Bates said it was crucial for future decisions about the school to come "from the community not imposed on them".
"I think the government is in a strong position to listen to what the elders are asking for," he said.
Mr Pearson on Saturday called on the government to also conduct a review into policing standards, alcohol, violence and juvenile delinquents in the troubled town.
The primary school was closed for a second time in a fortnight on Wednesday, following more targeted attacks on the teaching staff.
