WASHINGTON — A federal jury has ordered the Alexandria, Va., school board and a former elementary school principal to pay more than $1 million to a former student who was molested by a teacher.
The school board was ordered to pay $700,000 to Jackson Baynard, 20, who was abused by Craig Lawson starting in 1990 when he was a sixth-grader at Charles Barrett Elementary School. Catherine Malone, the Barrett principal at the time, was liable for $350,000.
Lawson is serving a 30-year sentence for sex crimes.
