Kansas School District Rejects Sexual Harassment Claim

A south-central Kansas school district is rejecting claims that 1 of its teachers sexually harassed a student.

The Hutchinson News reported that an unidentified plaintiff claims the harassment occurred before her 2007 graduation from Kingman High School. She says she received “highly inappropriate” text messages from a teacher and that the teacher asked her to bend over or climb onto a chair so he could see her underwear.

The suit also alleges her grades suffered when she tried to remove herself as the teacher’s student aide.

The Kingman-Norwich school district responded last month to the allegations made in the lawsuit. The district said it removed the plaintiff from her accused harasser’s class upon her request, but denies allegations that it failed to protect her from sexual harassment.
