NEW SUIT AGAINST LAMONT SCHOOLS

The Lamont School District has responded to a new lawsuit. The suit was filed this week by attorney David Rodriguez over the alleged molestation of two young girls by a teacher at Myrtle Avenue Elementary. The district issued a statement Wednesday saying the incident happened over two years ago and the employee was immediately placed on leave and ultimately resigned. No charges were ever filed in the case. A previous suit involving one of the girls is set to go to trial August 22nd. The new suit is for the other child.
