Utah teacher Kathy Moore says she is suing the Park City School District for how it treated her after she reported girls told her they were uncomfortable with how a boy touched them on the playground.
The girls rushed in from recess to tell their teacher what had happened., a boy, had cornered the five girls by the playground and touched them inappropriately, Kathy Moore said they told her. He had also laid flat on top of one girl and wouldn’t get off when she asked, according to the girls; it made them uncomfortable.
“Any time a child comes to you with a sexual harassment situation, you are legally mandated to report that incident — which I did without hesitation,” she told The Salt Lake Tribune. “And I would do that again and again and again.” But shortly after, in early December 2020, she said she butted heads with Houck about how to handle the reported harassment of the female students. Moore remembers the girls coming to tell her their concerns around Dec. 4.
After that, though, she began to disagree with Houck’s approach. The principal instructed Moore on Dec. 18, she said, to segregate her class by gender — having the boys sit on one half of the room and girls on the other. The segregation of the classroom upset parents, according to the lawsuit. And as far as Moore is aware, no further action was taken to investigate the girls’ complaint or correct the boy’s alleged behavior, and nothing was done to prevent future harassment.
Moore was confused. She hadn’t been told about a transfer and never requested one, she said. When the principal came to her classroom, he said it was just a misunderstanding, she said. She believes the letter was a vindictive move. Public school districts in Utah typically won’t hire an applicant who has one of those letters in their file, she said, and it made it difficult for her to get another teaching position.
