McALLEN — A third lawsuit against the Donna school district was filed Friday in connection to a January 2014 teacher-student sex scandal involving three employees.
The latest federal lawsuit revolves around 34-year-old Arturo Castillo Jr., a truancy officer accused of altering a 16-year-old girl’s attendance records at Donna High School and having unprotected sex with her.
The suit claims school district officials failed to act after receiving a full statement from the teen on Oct. 17, 2014, nearly three months before Castillo was suspended from his job.
“Defendant Donna ISD acted through the Assistant Principal and Principal of Donna High School and Donna ISD’s Superintendent of Human Resources, all of whom actually knew about the danger posed by Castillo to Donna High School students,” the lawsuit states. “And acted in deliberate indifference in failing to investigate, failing to follow any established policy for investigation threats to students from district employees like Castillo.”
