WINNIPEG - A principal is on leave from a Manitoba school where students were tricked into chewing on moose droppings during a canoe trip.
A school division spokesman says Bob Kovachik will not be back at Walter Whyte School in Grand Marais (mah-RAY') in September.
Superintendent Scott Kwasnitza won't say where Kovachik will be in the fall.
Kwasnitza says a new principal has not been named.
A parent supervisor tricked a Grade 8 boy and girl into putting moose poop into their mouths by telling them it was a tasty snack made up of wild berries and grass.
Parents have identified Kovachik as one of three teachers on the trip who did nothing to stop the practical joke.
