Investigation into principal who dragged student through school dropped
Victoria Police confirmed on Tuesday it was no longer looking into the January 31 incident as no criminal offence had been detected.
An investigation into the footage by the Department of Education is ongoing and expected to be completed in the coming weeks.Parents at the school rallied behind Mr Warner with almost 15,000 people signing a petition calling on Education Minister James Merlino to reinstate him., said Mr Warner had been an "amazing influence" on the school and its students since his appointment two years ago.
"His work has only just started to take effect and there are only good things that could come from him continuing in his role. "We are asking that his dedicated work at the school not be in vain due to this one isolated incident." It is understood the footage was captured on Snapchat by another student on January 31 and then shared on social media. The circumstances leading up to the incident are unclear and are being investigated.However, Australian Principals Federation president Julie Podbury said Mr Merlino's comments were "disappointing" given an investigation was under way.
