A Howard County jury awarded $235,000 to a high school teacher after ruling Tuesday that the county school system created a hostile work environment.
“From our perspective, this case isn?t just about the individual, but about the county public school system that lets this behavior go unchecked,” said Mike Coyle, a lawyer representing Centennial High School teacher Michelle Maupin. She claimed she was harassed because she is black and retaliated against after filing a complaint. She now teaches at Wilde Lake High School in Columbia.
