`Our File: 800-2295

`
`
`Dear Justice Buchanan:
`
`
`
`Pursuant to your directive I am writing to provide a brief status update with regard to
`Chambers v. Broadalbin-Perth Central School District.
`
`Plaintiff alleges that he was sexually assaulted and abused by teacher Elizabeth Munn
`
`during the end of his 8th grade year through the summer and the beginning of his 9th grade
`year. Plaintiff alleges that the abuse took place on and off school grounds. Plaintiff’s
`Complaint asserts causes of action of negligent supervision and monitoring in addition to
`negligent hiring and retention. The deposition of the Plaintiff has been completed and we are
`in the process of scheduling the deposition of a representative from the School District. It is the
`position of the Defendants that there was no notice to the School District of the alleged conduct
`of the teacher and that all appropriate actions and inquiries were made at the time of the hiring
`and evaluation of the accused teacher. There has been no settlement discussion and, to our
`knowledge, no settlement demand made to date. If a demand is made, we will assess whether
`mediation is a viable option.
`
