A former police officer named Donald P. Mauro was convicted on 18 counts of sexual assault in June 2005 after four students said he had sexual contact with them on the campus of a Conroe (TX, US) school. According to a story by Renée C. Lee in the Houston Chronicle, attorney Michael Josephson has amended a law suit brought on behalf of one of the students and her parents against Mr. Mauro to name the local education agency as a defendant, too. The suit alleges that the LEA failed in its duty to follow a feature of the girl’s Individualized Education Plan.
Josephson said his client required a special education plan because she suffers from a severe and disabling emotional disturbance. The plan called for her to be monitored at all times and escorted to her classes by educational staff, he said.
