A transgender principal of an elementary school in Swampscott on administrative leave won't be coming back.
Tom Daniels, 52, a biological male who announced in early February a wish to identify as a woman named Shannon, will stay on leave until June 30, when the current contract runs out, according to the Lynn Item.
BOSTON — Attorneys representing retired State Police Superintendent Colonel Richard McKeon — and a major who filed her own retirement papers a little less than a month ago — raised arguments Thursday in federal court in an attempt to prove that their decision to alter an underling's arrest report of a judge's daughter did not violate the constitutional rights of the arresting officer, according to a Boston Globe report documenting the proceedings.
The civil case in question stems from the arrest on October 16, 2017 of Alli Bibaud, daughter of Dudley District Court Judge Timothy Bibaud. State Trooper Ryan Sceviour claims in his lawsuit that McKeon, former State Police Major Susan Anderson, and a host of unnamed "John/Jane Does" conspired with Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early's office to scrub embarrassing — and incriminating — details from Alli Bibaud's arrest report.
