Probably not, but the answer will depend upon what the principal said and under what circumstances.
If she was talking to your ex about your child's education or welfare and was acting in her capacity as principal, then her statements most likely fall within the common-interest privilege and cannot support a judgment against her. But if she was just spreading rumors and it had nothing to do with her job, you might have a viable case.
