Provincial police in Haldimand County say a woman has been arrested in connection with an incident that occurred at a school in Caledonia earlier this month.

Police say a complaint was lodged about an assault that was reported at the school on Nov. 8.

They say a 41-year-old woman from Caledonia was arrested on Tuesday.

She is facing an assault charge and will appear in court in Cayuga at a later date.

“A complaint was made with the Athletics Association of Brant Haldimand Norfolk regarding the incident,” Dave Smouter wrote in an email.

“The Association convened a Board of Reference in response and subsequently delivered a decision on the incident.

“We can also confirm an assault complaint was filed with the OPP, and they are investigating.”

Smouter did not mention which school the incident occurred at.

An OPP spokesperson told Global News that it was against protocol to reveal the name of the school or whether the person was a teacher.
