LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) - An Albany County school district and some of its employees have been accused of failing to protect a former elementary school student from sexual harassment.

The Laramie Boomerang reports (https://bit.ly/2liLOnE ) that a lawsuit filed Friday in U.S. District Court accuses Albany County School District No. 1 and three of its employees from failing to address when a female Harmony Elementary School was sexually harassed while riding the school bus to and from school. The lawsuit claims that harassment turned to sexual assault in 2014.

According to the lawsuit, bus drivers reported that a male student was behaving inappropriately toward the victim to several employees but no action followed those reports.

ACSD No. 1 Superintendent Jubal Yennie said Monday he could not comment directly on the wsuit.
