Wrestling program in Kalispell School District subject of new complaint
Glacier High School on Thursday, Jan. 26. (Casey Kreider/Daily Inter Lake)
The parent of a high school wrestler is alleging the Kalispell School District and officials with a standout wrestling program failed to protect her son from a sexual assault and permitted a culture and “tradition” of hazing in a lawsuit filed last week following three related federal complaints.
In the lawsuit filed last Monday in U.S. District Court in Missoula, the parent is asking for $650,000 and a jury trial.
The lawsuit is one of a series of pending complaints related to the Glacier High School wrestling program, said lawyer Michael Bliven, who represents clients who filed separate allegations with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights.
