Police investigated incidents involving Johnson Middle School Principal Pamela Ransome, including one in which she is accused of punching a 12-year-old girl and another in which an 11-year-old girl hit her head against a wall because of an altercation. However, no charges were filed.

School officials say the school system's security and labor relations offices are continuing an investigation.

Acting D.C. Schools Chancellor Kaya Henderson says she expects the results of the investigation this week.
