Nevada School District Accused of ‘Covering Up’ Violent Attacks by Students
Description
A former paraprofessional is suing the Washoe County School District over claims that the system shuffles dangerous students between schools without adequately alerting staff about their behavior and terminated him in retaliation. The special education professional, James Benthin, said in the lawsuit that the school district “failed to discipline and remove dangerous students and failed to prevent the violent assault and battery” he allegedly experienced at the hands of a student in October last year. The lawsuit alleges Washoe County School District (WCSD) did nothing to remove dangerous students, which created a dangerous environment for teachers and students. The district said it cannot comment on pending litigation.
