A former Culdesac science teacher has filed a notice of tort claim against the school district, claiming she was harassed by students and an administrator.
Lisa Washburn submitted the notice to the district in September, also claiming she was wrongfully fired after showing her students a documentary on the theories of evolution last year. Washburn argues that students had threatened and harassed on her several occasion and an administrator “began to act in a sexually inappropriate manner.” Her attorney says Washburn is working with the district toward reaching a resolution, while the district has denied any wrongdoing.
