Sacramento Jury Rejects Student's Claims Against Former Dunsmuir H.S. Principal

Some seven years after a student claimed a Dunsmuir High School principal harassed her and unfairly disciplined her, a federal court jury has rejected her claims.

After a five-day trial, a jury of eight women voted unanimously Tuesday to reject Dayna Padula's claim in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Sacramento.

The jury deliberated 90 minutes before reaching a decision, said Redding attorney John Kelley, who represented the Dunsmuir Joint Union High School District, former superintendent and principal Bob Morris and other district officials.
