A teacher who was convicted of head-butting a colleague at a Lanarkshire school will remain in the classroom after receiving conditions and a reprimand following a hearing.
Russ Johnston attacked his colleague, who was also his line manager, at Chryston High School in November 2018 and later fined for his actions at Airdrie Sheriff Court in November 2019.
Mr Johnston did not attend the hearing after emailing General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTC Scotland) stating that "his professional union had withdrawn from representing him and that he would therefore not be attending the hearing and would not be represented at it." He instead chose to provided a written submission to the panel on the allegations.
