We settled out of court. The judge told our lawyers that if they tried the case in court, that "they" (meaning the school board) would have lost big time. A quote from the Washington Blade states School district attorney James T. Marnen said the school settled because if the case went to trial and the district lost, a jury award could have approached $1 million." The judge also told our lawyers that in all his cases he has had, this is the first case that he did not seal the case.

I still have to go and sign more documents, but after that I will be able to tell more about the case. Please check back soon, and I will keep you posted.

I want to take this time now and thank everyone that has been there to support me in the past, and I hope that this site will help others in need.
