SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Prosecutors dismissed child abuse charges Friday against a Santa Fe middle school principal and teacher over allegations the teacher threw paperback books that hit two students. In a case that pitted school officials against police, the 1st Judicial District attorney's office said in a court filing that De Vargas Middle School teacher Marcy Slaughter and Principal Marc Ducharme would not be prosecuted. According to authorities, Slaughter threw the books at four students after they disobeyed her April 30.
