Allentown, PA
Allentown School District has agreed to pay $825,000 to settle a sexual discrimination lawsuit by four boys who claimed educators at Central Elementary did nothing to stop sexual assaults by an older student.
The settlement announced Monday afternoon ends more than six years of litigation over the attacks by a 12-year-old boy with a history of behavioral problems and acting out sexually.
School district attorney John Freund said the district will pay $50,000 toward the settlement with insurance policies covering the balance. The settlement includes all damages, attorney fees and court costs for the plaintiffs.
