Announcement
On June 2, 2015, the bullying lawsuit filed against the Grinnell-Newburg Community School District was settled during jury selection. Many potential jurors had formed opinions about the issues in the case that disqualified them from serving on the jury. Several expressed opinions favorable to the Grinnell-Newburg School District and its administration. Because a jury could not be seated, a mistrial would have occurred. The new trial date would likely have been 9-12 months in the future. Rather than continuing to incur ongoing litigation expenses involved in the delay and new trial, the District’s insurance carrier made the decision to settle the case.
