Shrader V. Massillon City School District Board Of Education
A lawsuit has been filed by Monica Shrader, a teacher employed by the Massillon City School District Board of Education, alleging sex-based discrimination and retaliation in violation of Title VII and the Ohio Civil Rights Act. Shrader claims that despite her complaints, a male colleague continued to engage in harassing behavior towards her, which eventually escalated to a verbal assault in front of her student teacher, and was recorded on the school's surveillance camera. Additionally, Shrader alleges that she was subjected to sex-based disparate treatment and retaliation by school administrators and peers, resulting in her being reassigned to a remote teaching position and ostracized. The lawsuit seeks damages for emotional distress and lost wages, and Shrader has requested a trial by jury on all counts and issues of law.
