[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just remember: MCPS thought this needed to be settled immediately. The Vigna victims had to litigate. The Gaithersburg sex assault victim had to go all the way to a jury. The Damascus victims had to go through years of litigation while MCPS denied it had any responsibility to provide for safety in school before finally settling after the judge rejected their defenses. What is it about this case that made MCPS handle differently? No one who defends this settlement in any way or who supported this settlement deserves to be on the school board. [/quote]

To be fair, this was a smaller settlement amount. Even if McKnight wouldn't have won a discrimination lawsuit, she had a good enough case that it could have spent years in litigation. It was cheaper to settle.[/quote]

The same theory could have applied to the other cases too but MCPS decided to litigate those. A lot of special education claims could be settled for less than this settlement but MCPS litigates those too. This settlement was for more money than she was owed on her contract, so it was no great deal. [/quote]
