The 14-year-old girl is an eighth grade student at George Crockett Academy in Detroit. According to the lawsuit, another eighth grade student told school staff that she had a vape pen in her underwear. There is a known history of bullying involving the two girls.
On March 24, the 14-year-old girl’s mother wrote a letter to the school detailing concerns about her daughter’s safety and mental well-being because of bullying.
On March 27, the 14-year-old girl and the other girl got into an altercation, and both were suspended. The 14-year-old girl was suspended for three days and the other girl was suspended for five days.
The two girls argued on April 25, the day of the strip search, according to the lawsuit. After the argument, the 14-year-old girl was removed from the classroom and that’s when the other girl told staff members that the 14-year-old girl had a vape pen.
Staff searched the 14-year-old girl’s locker, backpack, pockets, and the classroom she was in, and found no evidence of a vape pen. The lawsuit alleges that school leader Thomas Goodley authorized the school’s counselor, Lakeisha Johnson, and the school’s instructional coach, Shawn Shwartz, to strip search the 14-year-old girl in Johnson’s office.
