A high school student who was drawn into a sexual relationship with her teacher won a $2.8-million judgment Thursday against the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District. “My client brought this case because she wanted to hold the school district accountable for its actions and to send a message to other school districts,” Stephen J. Estey said. But the shame belongs to the school district and to Park. The jury verdict puts the shame where it belongs.”School district officials said they also are distressed over what happened. Neither district officials nor their attorneys, who also represented the principal, responded to specific allegations Friday.
