Discrimination Suit Against Wicomico County Schools, Over

Wicomico Public Schools logo

The discrimination lawsuit against the Wicomico County Public School system is finally over.

The suit brought by Stacy Messick and Stephanie Moses saw the judge in the case issue a summary judgment for the school board in September.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the school district issued an email noted that the case is no longer pending.

The paper reports that attempts to contact the plaintiffs’ lawyer were unsuccessful.

The two said they complained about the alleged discrimination and that their work environment became worse.

The complaints ranged from disciplinary issues to questions about educational requirements for their jobs.

In 2014 Messick and Moses lost a suit for gender discrimination.

They were fired from their jobs in human resources and employee relations in early 2012.
