The principal is “relieved” the case will not be moving forward, his lawyer said.

Columbia High School Principal Frank Sanchez testified before the grand jury on Wednesday “and he was able to explain everything,” said John McMahon, Sanchez’s attorney.

The video footage then showed the pair falling through a door, with Sanchez holding the student up against the wall, according to the complaint. The student had a separate confrontation with classmates earlier and was on her way to cafeteria to confront them when Sanchez intercepted her, the attorney said.

Residents in the South Orange-Maplewood School District have been bitterly divided over whether the student interaction warranted criminal charges.
