Principal back in school after being assaulted

A principal is back in school after being assaulted by one of her students.

Early Wednesday morning, students at Williston Middle School were in the gym to get out of the cold. School officials said a 13-year-old seventh grade boy began acting up. When the principal asked the student to stop, that’s when officials said he tackled her to the floor.

The student’s name has not been released, but WWAY was told he is been charged with assault. The school will also be taking appropriate disciplinary action against the student.
