Teacher Sentenced After Abuse Lawsuit

A former band director sentenced to 15 years for sexually abusing a 15-year-old student is now at the center of a federal lawsuit against his school district. The abuse allegedly went unchecked for years, with school officials failing to notify the victim’s parents until the day after the report. The family’s lawyer accuses the district of systemic failures in hiring, training, and oversight — and calls for sweeping reforms to protect students. They’re seeking damages and a jury trial, urging other victims to come forward to prevent future tragedies. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
