A new civil suit filed in federal courts this week accuses the Davis County School District of racial discrimination against a Black 9th grade student.

The suit, filed by the parent of the student, names the district and three district employees as defendants, and accuses them of Intentional Discrimination in Violation of Title VI and Breach of Contract, referencing the settlement agreement between the district and the U.S. after a Department of Justice investigation found"severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive race-based harassment by staff in several District school and services.

The document further outlines three notable incidents involving the district employees named as defendants in the suit. The student did as instructed and found the missing classmates using illegal substances. He returned to the classroom and reported what we saw to the teacher. The vice principal demanded the student tell"the rest of the story," stating that he was aware of his criminal conduct and they had recorded"the whole thing" on video.
