The school board held an emergency meeting on March 23, after the alleged assault, during which a resolution removing Green from her position was passed unanimously. 

Charis Lee, the board's attorney, said that Green can only be removed from the board entirely if she's convicted of a felony. 

During the emergency meeting, MacIntyre said that she filed a police report after the alleged assault by Green took place.

"Let me reiterate, there was no fight, there was no argument, this escalated out of nothing, and very quickly," MacIntyre said. "It was an attack, it was an assault, and I did file a police report."

MacIntyre said that Green "grabbed my throat" and slammed her head on the table.

"I was attacked, out of nowhere, for no reason, and there is one person fighting, one person who did the violence, not the board. It wasn't the board, it was one individual and that one individual grabbed my throat, slammed my head down on the table, punched me repeatedly in the head and the only one who was pointing a finger was that person, was Danielle Green," MacIntyre said.
