(Los Angeles Times) An Orange County Superior Court jury awarded a former teacher $50,000 after ruling that the Laguna Beach Unified School District violated her privacy by allowing reports to spread that she had accused of coming to school drunk.
But jurors sided with the district by rejecting three other charges — defamation, retaliation and failure to prevent retaliation.
Still, the attorney for former teacher Barbara Joan McKnight called the verdict a “major victory.”
