Frustrated parents have filed a lawsuit against the Monroe School District, accusing it of failing to address years of racial discrimination and harassment involving their children.
The lawsuit was officially filed in Snohomish County Superior Court, following claims that the district has been slow to respond to repeated complaints from families. Attorney James Bible, representing the families, announced the lawsuit during a press conference Friday afternoon."As time goes by, more and more students come forward," said Bible.
However, two years later, families argue that the problem remains unresolved.Some families have since left the district due to these experiences, but they say they are not backing down from the fight for justice."They don’t want another host of kids to experience that same sort of harm," said Bible.Responding to the allegations, Monroe School District acknowledged the suit.
