Ex-Wicomico Employees Seek $3M In Civil Suit

SALISBURY — Two former Wicomico County Board of Education administrators last week filed a civil suit in U.S. District Court seeking $3 million in damages and injunctive relief against their former employer, citing a long pattern of gender and age discrimination and harassment.

Former Wicomico County School Board administrators Stacy Messick and Stephanie Moses were terminated in January 2012 after filing a complaint alleging a pattern of sex and age discrimination and harassment. The suit filed against the Wicomico County Board of Education and Superintendent John Fredericksen is seeking $3 million in compensatory and punitive damages along with back pay and benefits and injunctive relief.

“This is an employment discrimination case brought by former county employees alleging a continuing series of discriminatory conduct against them because of their sex and age,” the complaint reads.

Funny, didn't I do this story about 6 months ago. I heard the DT's finally got to it yesterday.

I guess they think if they keep suing sooner or later they will get something. When I left there I was replaced by a man but it had nothing to do with discrimination...he was the best one for the job. As to their reputations being ruined I think these law suits are doing that.

I didn't expect anything less from the DT.

Great, even more money out of our pockets by the BOE. I just don't see it though, as there's so many women and old people within the BOE and all around in administrative positions?

Absent a contract, Maryland employees can be fired for no reason, but they cannot be fired for illegal reasons.
