The allegations echo those in the Del Norte High School softball debacle, and add to a growing pile of litigation the district faces over Marian Kim Phelps.
U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, left, and Poway Unified Superintendent Marian Kim Phelps are pictured in 2019, when the Cabinet member visited the district. Already facing two legal threats from the superintendent it fired earlier this year, Poway Unified School District has now been dealt another — this time in the form of a lawsuit from her former executive assistant.
In an email, Phelps’ spokesperson Rolando Bonilla called the allegations in Marshall’s lawsuit “complete fabrications.” For example, the lawsuit alleges that Phelps had accused Marshall of conspiring with another former assistant in trying to poison Phelps. Marshall said there was never any attempt to poison Phelps.
Marshall said she retired five years earlier than planned because Phelps’ verbal abuse and intimidation made the job “intolerable.”
