LANSING (AP) — The Lansing School District has agreed to pay $405,000 to end two lawsuits filed by former students who said they were sexually assaulted on school property.
The Lansing State Journal reports the district agreed in March to pay $180,000 to settle a lawsuit brought by a former student who said another student assaulted her in Eastern High School in 2015.
The district also recently agreed to pay $225,000 to settle a lawsuit brought by another ex-student who was raped at the same school’s campus in 2014.
The district had previously denied wrongdoing in both cases.
