Woman files $650,000 claim against Columbus Public Schools

COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) – A Columbus woman has filed a $650,000 claim against Columbus Public Schools over an alleged attack on her son.   The claim sited by the Columbus Telegram says a school employee provided lax supervision as her now-16- year-old son was physically attacked while attending a wrestling camp in Denver in 2009. The claim says the teen’s head was dunked into a toilet filled with feces, among other things. Rumors of hazing after the trip contributed to the resignation of wrestling coach Tracy Dodson and the suspension of four wrestlers. Superintendent Troy Loeffeholz says the claim was forward to the district’s insurance carrier, which will decide whether to pay the
woman. If no payment is authorized, she can sue the district.
