A jury trial begins in April to determine if Chapel Hill-Carrboro school officials mishandled student assault claims, potentially creating a culture of silence around sexual abuse. Parent Rebecca Fox, acting as guardian for her daughter and two others, filed a lawsuit against the districts board of education, former principal Emily Bivins, and ex-teacher Pablo Valencia. Fox alleges gross negligence, poor supervision, and a lack of safety measures following incidents involving a kindergarten boy and a substitute teacher. The district denies any wrongdoing, claiming they investigated reports, notified law enforcement, and offered safety lessons. The trial will delve into the districts handling of the incidents, as annual state reports show no assaults logged at the school from 2011 to 2025.
