Lawrence School District

Tonganoxie, KS: (Feb-27-07) A lawsuit was filed by Alan Theno against the Lawrence School District alleging that the school neglected looking into the bullying his son reported he was going through. The suit alleged that Dylan Theno was called all sorts of names after rumors of his sexual behavior and orientation did the rounds in school, and continued till he quit school as a junior. The suit also said the harassment denied him access to an education. A US District Court jury awarded Theno a $250,000 judgment in August 2005 and the district was ordered by the judge in the case to pay nearly $270,000 in court costs. That award was under appeal when the $440,000 settlement was reached, along with corrective measures to prevent such situations. [LJ WORLD NEWS: STUDENT BULLYING]
