A student assaulted an assistant principal at James Clemens High School in Madison on Wednesday as the administrator was attempting to break up a fight on a school bus, Madison City Schools Superintendent Ed Nichols said.
Speaking at a press conference Thursday morning, Nichols described the incident in which the assistant principal – whom the school system is declining to identify at this time – was struck in the back of the head six to 10 times by one of the students in the fight.
The student also bit the assistant principal on the arm, breaking the skin through his long-sleeve clothing and left the injury bloody, Nichols said.
