Palo alto unified school district

Wisconsin’s Kiel Area School District has dropped a Title IX sexual harassment lawsuit it filed against middle school children for “mispronouning” another student. This development comes as the school district was subject to heavy media scrutiny as well as the children’s legal defense from the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL). “Over the last several weeks, our school district and community have been greatly impacted by media attention related to a complaint involving harassment,” a letter from the district board of education states . “As we move forward, we want to acknowledge the strain on our administrators and staff who have been criticized for simply carrying out the functions of their job as set out in District policy,” the letter continues. “These are individuals who have dedicated their careers to education and who selflessly put the interests of all students in front of their own each day they come to work in the District.” As Breitbart News reported … [Read more...] about WI School District Drops ‘Mispronouning’ Lawsuit Against Middle Schoolers

Leaders also overhauled the process with new oversight mechanisms and guardrails to prevent the type of scandals that plagued the earmarks process — known derisively as “pork-barrel spending” — in years past.
