The lawsuit stated that the Principal of the school, Penny Love, and school administration, ignored everything happening and did nothing to stop it. One student even complained to school administration and asked to be removed from the class because she felt “uncomfortable with the relationship.”
School Never Told Thomas’ Parents about the Incidents
Cummins was confronted by a student and two more individuals after kissing Thomas. That’s when administrators allegedly launched their investigation. Yet, despite finally beginning an investigation, Cummins was still allowed to be part of a field trip Thomas attended.
Thomas’ father alleged in the lawsuit that he was never told about what happened between Cummins and his minor child by the school. Instead, he heard about it from the sheriff’s office a week after the kiss was reported.
The federal lawsuit seeks monetary damages from both former teacher Tad Cummins and Maury County Board of Education.
