Autistic student awarded $30K in damages in Wyoming County Board Of Education lawsuit
Quote:
A civil lawsuit between the Wyoming County Board of Education and autistic student at Westside High School concluded on Thursday. A jury found that the Wyoming County Board of Education was negligent for failing to investigate, report and take action on instances of bullying against a student identified as P.H.
The board of education was found not liable on a second count in the suit alleging disability discrimination. The lawyer representing the student says she was awarded $30K in damages as a result of the suit.
