The former principal of Carver Elementary School in Wendell will have to appear in court to answer allegations she assaulted a student.

Allison Baker was served Thursday with a criminal summons of assaulting a child under 12, according to Phyllis Stephens, a spokeswoman for the Wake County Sheriff's Office.

Baker had resigned as principal on June 1 after having been suspended with pay May 22 for "negative interaction with a student," according to Michael Evans, a school system spokesman.

We've got new principals tonight at Holly Springs High, Davis Drive Elementary and Wildwood Forest Elementary and an interim leader at Carver Elementary.

Timothy Lee Locklair will become principal of Holly Springs High, replacing Luther Johnson, who left due to health issues. Locklair has been the principal of Apex Middle since 2004 and previously was a high school teacher and assistant principal in Moore County.

Locklair will receive a salary of $95,902.
