ST ANN, Jamaica — The vice principal of Ocho Rios Primary and a parent, with whom the school administrator had an altercation on Monday, are to go before the courts on February 7, 2023.

The St Ann police have charged vice principal, Althea Green and Judiene Greenland with assault occasioning bodily harm.

Reports are that on Monday, a teacher at the institution confiscated the cell phone of Greenland’s child, who was using the device while class was in session.

The phone was then handed over to Green. After her child’s friend told her the cell phone had been confiscated, Greenland went to the school and demanded that the device be returned, leading to an altercation.

Subsequently, teachers at the St Ann-based school reportedly withdrew their services.
