An attorney representing the family of a 12-year-old former Live Oak Classical School student who is black and suffered rope burns to her neck on an overnight school trip filed a civil lawsuit Monday against the school and the owner of a Blanco County ranch where the girl suffered the injuries in late April.
Levi McCathern filed the suit against the school and against Lawrence Germer, owner of Germer Ranch, where the student’s sixth-grade class stayed for an end-of-year camping trip.
McCathern previously has said the actions of three other students who are white may have been racially motivated.
In the lawsuit, he cites ongoing bullying of the girl and a lack of response in claiming the school was negligent in how it handled the incident.
