The lawsuit alleges the student’s conduct escalated and that he became more aggressive toward Hall — to the point that he was making “terroristic threats” — when she tried to correct his behavior.“Instead, MISD allowed the situation to continue to escalate creating an unsafe environment for Aretha Hall and the other students, teachers and faculty present,” the lawsuit says.
Because of the “untenably hostile and dangerous” situation, Hall suffered from anxiety and other mental-health issues, the lawsuit says, and she eventually took medical leave as a result.Weeks after Hall began her leave, the 2021 shooting at Timberview — which the lawsuit says involved the disruptive student — took place. Hall went into “an emotional and mental breakdown tailspin” after learning of the shooting, the lawsuit says.
