COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
A discrimination lawsuit filed against Columbia Public Schools in 2023 was dismissed with prejudice on Tuesday.
A parent of a child who attended Oakland Middle School sued the school district in 2023, alleging complaints that his child was assaulted, called racial slurs, falsely accused of stealing, stalked and wrongly blamed for playing provocative music.
The lawsuit claimed the student was “constructively expelled from Oakland Middle School” on Dec. 20, 2021.
The plaintiffs in the case filed a voluntary notice of dismissal on Friday, court filings show.
A CPS spokesperson wrote in an email that the district does not comment on litigation.
