Horry County Schools facing false imprisonment and defamation lawsuit
Horry County Schools could be facing a lawsuit after a teacher in a charter school allegedly punished a student by making her sit on the floor in the back of her classroom. Spokeswoman Teal Britton said the district hasn’t been served with papers and knows nothing about the suit.
In a complaint filed April 13, plaintiffs Michael and Lisa Skinner accused Horry County Schools and a second grade teacher of false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation and civil rights violations.
The Skinners allege in the complaint that their 7-year-old daughter was a student at the charter school “Palmetto Academy School” {sic} when Webb “disciplined (her) for some unknown reason,” sometime between the beginning of the 2016-17 school year and March 28, 2017.
The address of the school called “Palmetto Academy School” is the location of the Palmetto Academy of Learning and Success charter school. According to the complaint, the girl was “singled out” to sit on the floor to complete her classwork while other students sat at their desk.
