Schools & School Boards – Title IX – Student-on-Student Harassment – Expulsion
By: Teresa Bruno, Opinions Editor//November 15, 2016
Mother Doe 203 v. Berkeley County School District (Lawyers Weekly No. 002-217-16, 10 pp.) (Patrick Michael Duffy, J.) 2:14-cv-03575; D.S.C.
Holding: As different students reported inappropriate touching and other actions by student WW, the defendant-school district took increasingly serious measures against WW, culminating in his expulsion. Since the expulsion was already in the works when the plaintiff-student made her second report of misconduct by WW, the court cannot say that it was clearly unreasonable for the school to take no further action against WW.
The court grants the school district’s motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ federal claims. The court remands plaintiffs’ state claims to state court.
