Utah teacher sues school district after she says officials retaliated against her for reporting sexual harassment among 5th-grade students

A few of the girls in her fifth-grade class told her that "one of the boys in the class was touching them inappropriately and staring at them in ways that made them uncomfortable," according to the lawsuit.

A teacher in Utah is suing her former employer after she said it retaliated against her for reporting sexual harassment among her students, according to court documents filed last week.

Kathryn Moore is suing Utah’s Park City School District “for violations of Title IX” and “state breach of contract,” according to the suit filed in the 3rd District Court for Summit County, Utah.

The school district superintendent said in an email to CNN that the district is “unable to comment on either pending litigation or personnel matters.”

In December 2020, a few of the girls in Moore’s fifth-grade class told her that “one of the boys in the class was touching them inappropriately and staring at them in ways that made them uncomfortable,” according to the lawsuit.
