If your daughter was physically assaulted by a teacher on school grounds, you must make a police report and document the incident in writing to the school and demand it be investigated. Depending on the particular facts and resulting injury you may have a lawsuit. In order to start a lawsuit, a notice of claim must also be served on the school district within 90 days after the incident and the lawsuit must be filed within 1 year and 90 days after the incident. DO NOT WAIT- put the school district and the board of education on notice IMMEDIATELY- especially since you imply this was a racially motivated incident.
