A Maryborough principal has appeared in the Maryborough Magistrates Court today facing two charges.
Leon Alexander McKay, principal of Granville State School, has been charged with one count of serious assault of a person over 60 and another count of interfering with a driver’s control of a vehicle.
The charges relate to an incident in Maryborough West on December 10 last year, according to court documents.
A spokesman from Education Queensland said the department would not comment for privacy reasons.
However it is understood Mr McKay has been stood down from his role at the school while the charges are before the court.

WHERE Scotland was once the fiefdom of the Labour Party and where it used to be said that if it put a donkey up as a candidate it would be elected overwhelmingly, now the party is clinging on by its fingertips in Holyrood, having slipped into third place behind the Tories. Its solitary Westminster MP makes it look like the Scottish representation in Westminster could soon be an extinct species and, without Scotland in its grasp, the party has little hope of regaining power in Westminster. The last two leaders of Scottish Labour in Holyrood have lacked a presence and cutting edge, without which no impression has been made on the Scottish electorate or in the Holyrood chamber.
