Today is Wednesday, April 3rd and

0:10

I'm Keith Ippolito. The Marietta

0:12

School District has formally refuted claims

0:14

in a federal lawsuit by Sarah Barber,

0:16

director of the Marietta Student Life Center,

0:18

regarding racial discrimination and a whistleblower

0:21

retaliation. The district categorically

0:23

rejected the allegations as unfounded

0:25

and incorrect. Barbra's lawsuit alleged

0:28

that budget reductions at the center, which

0:30

he attributed to its support of the LGBTQ

0:32

plus students, constituted discrimination.

0:35

Contrary to these claims, the district asserts

0:37

that no budget cuts were implemented and that

0:39

any financial adjustments were solely focused

0:42

on enhancing instructional time. The

0:44

legal proceedings are set to continue, with

0:46

the discovery phase extending until August

0:48

29th. For more news about our community,
