Former Vice Principal at Seattle High School Prevails in Sexual Harassment Suit

By Donald W. Heyrich

ADVERTISEMENTS

Sex harassment

 

A former vice principal at Ballard High School in Seattle, WA was awarded over $600 thousand in damages following a jury trial in King County Superior Court based on allegations that she was subjected to sexual harassment.  The former vice principal, Glenda Williams, claimed that she was subjected to repeated overtures by Ballard High School???s then-principal, Method Odoemene.  Williams alleged that she was on track to becoming a principal herself until Odoemene started his sexual overtures.  In its defense, the Seattle Public Schools argued that Odoemene had been reprimanded for inappropriate behavior, and was ultimately removed from his position, following Williams??? complaint to the district about him.  Nonetheless, the jury awarded substantial damages to Williams, agreeing with her contention that her career suffered as a result of the events.
