Former Greenburgh 11 Teacher Sues District Over Firing

GREENBURGH, NY — A former teacher is suing the Greenburgh Eleven school district for allegedly firing her after she was assaulted by a student and called the police. Judy Sugar reported to police that a student “accosted and touched” her May 14, 2015.

In her lawsuit, she said feared for the safety of students and staff members so she called the police instead of going to the Dobbs Ferry police headquarters as she was told to do, lohud.com said.

Elton Thompson, the principal of Mary McLeod Bethune Junior and Senior High School, was angered by the call to the police, the suit said, and told Sugar to leave the school grounds immediately.
