Another student who sued will receive $10,000. But Blake will receive $175,000 in a trust. He will receive $25,000 up front. And it's not even all going to the victims. Earlier this summer, the U.S. Attorney's Office, the FBI and the Montgomery County District Attorney cleared the District, and its employees - current and former -- of any criminal wrongdoing. I really wish we could change this. We revised our policies and procedures, reaffirmed our commitment to technology and put safeguards into place to ensure the privacy of our students, staff and school families. This reads like, "we made sure we're not going to get caught again." permalink fedilink source parent
