An elementary school principal in Concord is resigning amid a police investigation into accusations he had physical contact with a student while attempting to restrain him.
John Forrest is stepping down from his position at Beaver Meadow Elementary School after being on paid administrative leave for more than seven weeks. He was placed on leave in April. His resignation is effective June 30.
No charges have been filed against Forrest.
Ben Greene, the current assistant principal at Concord High School, has agreed to serve as the school's principal for the 2015-2016 school year.
Greene will take a leave of absence from Concord High School while incoming Superintendent Terri Forsten searches for a permanent replacement.
