Not Backing Down
Regardless of the school’s decision to double down, Jimmy and his wife decided to move ahead with the lawsuit. Their federal lawsuit alleged that the school had “failed to properly train, monitor, direct, discipline, and supervise their employees. They knew, or should have known the employees would engage in complantive behaviour given the improper training.”
Jimmy was alleging that even a ‘model teacher’ was not infallible and that the school had the onus of keeping teachers updated with the newest behavioral guidelines. Jimmy was really hitting them where it hurts! But would it be enough?
