School's have written policies prohibiting sexual harassment and bullying. If either is occurring after you have given notice to the school, yoiu may have the right to sue. However a suit against a public administration requires that you file a notice of intent to sue within 180 days of the incident complained of. A suit against a school district requires experience and a will not to give up. Do not treat this as legal advise about your case, because I do not have sufficient information cancerning your matter.Act quickly. If you need assistance, please feel free to call 303-2890-8008.
