The Perryton school district is asking a federal court to dismiss a lawsuit that says it didn’t do enough to keep its former athletic director from sexually abusing and harassing a teenage girl.
Cole Underwood is in the Randall County Jail waiting for his trial on the sexual allegations.
The unnamed father of the girl is suing the district and Underwood, who the district previously fired.
The district filed the motion to dismiss and answers to the claims Monday. Many of the answers say the district doesn’t have enough information to admit or deny the father’s claims or that the claims only apply to Underwood’s actions.
