The former principal of Webster Elementary School in Manchester has filed a wrongful termination and whistleblower lawsuit against the school district, claiming she was fired for threatening to expose a “litany of illegal practices” in city schools, including staffing issues in the Emotional Behavior Disorder program and a failure to notify authorities after she was stabbed and suffered a concussion in separate confrontations with students.
The lawsuit, filed Friday, names Superintendent Dr. Bolgen Vargas, Assistant Superintendent Amy Allen and the school district as defendants.
The lawsuit claims former principal Sarah Lynch suffered “harm, including loss of income, emotional distress and other damages” as a result of her firing. It seeks damages and attorney fees.
