Harrison County, WV, assistant principal accused of bullying transgender student in ACLU letter
CLARKSBURG — The superintendent of Harrison County Schools said it is his “early conclusion” that an assistant principal at a Clarksburg high school acted “inappropriately” and “was insensitive” in an encounter with a transgender student in a school bathroom late last month.
Harrison County Schools Superintendent Dr. Mark Manchin said county school administration will meet Tuesday with Liberty High School Assistant Principal Lee Livengood after the American Civil Liberties Union of West Virginia alleged in a letter that Livengood “cornered, harassed and intimidated (a transgender student) in a public boys’ bathroom.”
According to the letter, a student, who identifies as male, went into a boys’ restroom at the high school following the conclusion of classes and before a scheduled bus trip to Morgantown.
While the student was still using the facilities, Livengood entered and began to question the student on why he was using the restroom, the letter alleges.
